SAP Australia and New Zealand has announced the appointment of two key solution portfolio sales executives, Dereck Daymond and Jeremy Goddard, to its leadership team. Daymond and Goddard will both be heading national teams of specialised sales executives.
The appointments are part of a move to reshape SAP ANZ’s management structure. The change aims to enhance support for SAP’s innovation strategy, which is focused on five market categories: applications, analytics, database and technology, mobile and computing.
Dereck Daymond has been appointed general manager, database and technology, SAP ANZ. In light of SAP’s recent acquisition of enterprise and mobile technology provider, Sybase, this division now includes a combination of database and technology solutions from Sybase and existing SAP technology. This includes solutions such as SAP HANA, SAP Sybase ASE, SAP Sybase IQ and SAP NetWeaver.
As the previous managing director of Sybase, Daymond’s experience developing and executing its business strategy for Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, will equip him for his new role.
Alongside Daymond, Jeremy Goddard has been appointed general manager, business solutions and cloud, SAP ANZ. Goddard will be driving the strategy for a number of SAP’s innovation solutions, including mobility, business analytics, line-of-business solutions and SAP’s cloud offerings. Goddard previously held the role of director ofsServices, SAP ANZ, where he was responsible for demand generation activities across the services business in Australia and New Zealand.
