Acronis has named Terry Christie as General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, signalling the company’s ongoing investment in the region and its focus on growth.
With more than 25 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, Christie will lead the regional team in accelerating business growth, deepening relationships with partners and customers, and expanding Acronis’ presence in the region.
As General Manager, he will be responsible for shaping regional strategy, scaling operations, and driving collaboration across Australia and New Zealand, particularly in helping service providers deliver modern cyber protection through integrated security and remote monitoring and management capabilities.
Christie has previously held senior roles at Nitro, Aruba (HPE), Commvault, IBM, Lenovo, Samsung Electronics, and Ingram Micro.
Also joining Christie and the Australia and New Zealand team, Pete Bouris has been named strategic partner account manager. Bouris brings extensive experience in partner development and cybersecurity sales.
In his role, Bouris will focus on partner recruitment and enablement efforts across Australia. Bouris most recently served as Head of SMB Sales ANZ at Veeam and has held roles at Arcserve and StorageCraft. His experience working with MSPs and MSSPs positions him well to support Acronis’ channel-first go-to-market strategy in the region.
“Acronis is expanding in Australia and New Zealand, thanks to growing potential and strong partnerships in these countries,” said Acronis Regional SVP Pasha Ershow.”With Terry and Pete onboard, we’ll continue to accelerate our business growth, which is already growing more than 40% year on year.”
