Dimension Data, the $4.7 billion global ICT services and
solutions provider, announced that it has appointed Steve Nola as CEO of its
newly-formed Cloud Solutions business unit.

 

Nola has served as CEO of Dimension Data Australia since
2001. This follows Dimension Data’s announcement last month that it acquired
Santa-Clara based enterprise cloud company, OpSource.

 

Steve has been nominated to accelerate the Group’s cloud
strategy based on his strong 22-year track record with Dimension Data as an
executive and a leader with proven execution skills and ability to drive value.
Under Steve’s leadership, the Australian business has grown from revenues of
US$365 million in 2002 to over US$1 billion today,” said Brett Dawson, group
CEO, Dimension Data.

 

Steve has also successfully transformed the Australian
business from a reseller into an IT outsourcing and managed services-focused
organization. In addition, with his experience in cloud architecture,
telecommunications, services, and IT outsourcing, he is well-positioned to
establish and grow Dimension Data’s global Cloud Solutions business,” added
Dawson.

 

I’m very excited about my new role leading Dimension
Data’s cloud initiatives. We’ve already seen success in the Australian market
on this front through our cloud asset, BlueFire. Our clients are increasingly
expressing more and more interest in starting their own journey to cloud
services. As a Group, we believe the time is right to place greater focus on
this fast-developing space and significantly increase our offerings and
activities,” said Nola.

 

Nola will continue to retain executive oversight for
Dimension Data’s businesses in the Australian region. Rodd Cunico, Dimension
Data’s Southern Region Manager for the past decade, succeeds Nola as CEO of
Dimension Data Australia, with specific responsibility for Dimension Data’s
Systems Integration business in the region. Nola and Cunico will assume their
new responsibilities immediately.
