Extreme Networks announces Chris Georgellis as its new MD

Atlast! Extreme Networks found a new ANZ country director. Previously, John Gonzalez was the director but, after his exit the company spent much of the year searching for a replacement for him.

Chris Georgellis, formerly the South Pacific sales manager of Aruba Networks, will carry forward the responsibilities and will report directly to Simon Naylor, Vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan.

Georgellis said “I am very excited to be joining the ‘new’ Extreme at such a dynamic time for the company. I am looking forward to working with our team and channel partners here as we expand on the next phase of growth in the ANZ market.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Chris to our leadership team at Extreme Networks,” Naylor said. “We believe that Chris will bring great energy and experience to our business in ANZ that will provide tangible benefits to our employees, partners and customers in the region.”

Naylor cited the recent acquisition of Avaya Networking and the pending acquisition of Brocade’s IP networking business.
