Intelliworx, a globally recognized managed services and cloud solutions provider, has announced two strategic executive appointments. The company, which has a strategic focus on cyber security, has appointed Blake Jeffrey as general manager for Australia and Joshua Paulus as head of security and identity for Australia.

His new duties will also include overseeing customer information, protection of technology assets and continuous improvement practices.
For Intelliworx, this is an exciting time, with cybersecurity coming into the spotlight for the first time and meeting growing customer demand. Given the complex operational and workforce requirements faced by customers, cybersecurity advice is more essential than ever. Intelliworx's executive appointments signify recognition of this change, with a cybersecurity leader specifically appointed to oversee the entire Australian business as Tier 1 expertise is essential to technology strategy. This is the first time it has happened.
These executive appointments follow a remarkable expansion trajectory for the global managed services and cloud solutions provider. Recently, a core element of Intelliworx's plans included the announcement of a strategic partnership with his Neat, a leading designer of video devices. The move aims to help customers deliver a comprehensive work-from-home experience and highlights the complex challenges that require effective cybersecurity advice.
This expansion trend continues as Intelliworx also adds 15 members to its team and plans to hire 10 more by the end of 2024.
