Tesserent has appointed James Ormesher as Chief Growth Officer.
James has an extensive background in sales leadership across commercial, government and defence sectors ranging from mid-market to enterprise.
James joined VMtech at its inception and was pivotal in expanding the startup from four people to 100 and the successful sale to Telstra in 2017.
Following acquisition, James successfully integrated VMtech into Telstra and launched Telstra Purple to the market, providing services across cybersecurity, cloud, network, data and professional managed services.
Commenting on James appointment to the Tesserent leadership team, Kurt Hansen, CEO, Tesserent says, “I am delighted to welcome James, who will play an important role in turbocharging our growth as a Thales company and enhanced force in the Australian and New Zealand market. James will be key to our aggressive growth and expansion strategy over the coming year and beyond.”
According to James, he was attracted to join Tesserent and Thales by the unified and exciting growth trajectory. “I am excited to join Tesserent and Thales as the two companies strengthen their cybersecurity offering in the market and spearhead future growth in Australia and New Zealand. I was attracted by the depth and breadth of the full-service offering, the unique capabilities in the group and the high caliber of skills within the team in the fight against escalating cyber-crime.”
James is now focused on enhancing value for customers. “The combined market force of Tesserent under Thales, means there is strong potential to inform our existing extensive customer base of our bolstered service provision. We work with many extremely well-known brands in Australia and New Zealand, but they may only know one or two of our service lines. My aim is to continue delivering excellent customer service and demonstrate the many other areas we can partner together to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses,” he says.
