Benjamin Henshall has been appointed as the first ANZ vice president for Data virtualization provider Denodo. Henshall previously spent 13 years in various leadership roles for Red Hat, most recently as South East Asia general manager. Henshall will be responsible for developing and accelerating growth in the Australian and New Zealand markets by building on existing relationships with customers and expanding the company’s partner ecosystem. He will oversee sales, marketing, partners relationships, service delivery and post-implementation support. “I have been closely following Denodo’s worldwide growth, specifically in the ANZ region for the last few years,” Henshall said. “I personally know the data related pain points of many organisations in the territory and I definitely believe Denodo has the right product to solve many of those problems. My near terms focus will be to build the awareness of Denodo’s product and solution, not only working with my colleagues at Denodo but our amazing partner ecosystem in the ANZ region.”
