Data#3 General Manager for Western Australia, Kingsley McGarrigle, said, "I’m delighted to welcome Craig Ellis, Desmond Phua and Mark Ehlers to the team. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge having worked on many large local and national projects to solve complex customer challenges."
Phua joins the management team as Professional Services Manager for Western Australia. Having demonstrated great leadership and professionalism in his previous roles at Data#3 as Field Service Manager and Project Manager, the new appointment was a natural progression and great fit for the team.
"Our people are our biggest asset. Providing them with the environment, support and career pathways to progress within Data#3 is critically important. When we see talent become available in the market, it’s also great to inject this talent into the local team," said McGarrigle.
New to Data#3, and taking on the role of Infrastructure Solutions Manager for Western Australia, Ellis is a proven ICT leader, having previously led large teams at Telstra. With a keen interest in disruptive technology, intelligent consumption models and eco systems, Ellis has a history of connecting people and technology to provide successful outcomes for customers.
Licensing Sales Manager for Western Australia, Ehlers, comes to Data#3 with a diverse range of sales, leadership and technical experience, as well demonstrable skills in coaching and financial management. Uniquely, Mark also ran his own family retail business, gaining great knowledge and understanding that will be critical to his role at Data#3.
"As promised at the start of this financial year, we will continue to invest in local top talent to facilitate our expansion and align to our strategy - ultimately helping to deliver the best services and solutions to our customers," concluded McGarrigle.
In May 2018, the company announced its move to a new digital and collaborative workspace in Perth’s CBD. Located in the heart of Perth on Mounts Bay Road, the new state-of-the-art facility places Data#3 at the forefront of digital innovation, allowing staff to better serve customers and technology partners.
