I’m hugely excited by the contribution that Suzanne will make to the on-going growth of AUCloud”
Suzanne, previously GM Policy and Advocacy for the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) for the last five years, as well as previous roles with SMEs and within government noted “I’m highly motivated by the opportunity to work with Phil, Scott and the wider AUCloud team. Proven success building UKCloud into the leading provider of cloud IaaS to UK Government, leading Australian entrepreneurial investors, deep operational and security experience across Australian Government, a rapidly growing channel partner base combined with a deep seated belief in making a difference, were attributes that I simply could not ignore”
