Australian cloud computing and public cloud storage company, Ninefold, has boosted its management team with the appointment of Edwin Dawson as Technical Engagement Manager.

Starting immediately, Dawson joins Ninefold's marketing team to work closely with the company's development, product, sales and support teams, with responsibility for the entire 'feel and voice' of Ninefold's customer-facing documentation together with the development of  a new program of educational materials.

Before joining Ninefold, Dawson spent four years as team leader of the technical writing team at Atlassian, the Sydney-based enterprise social software company and prior to that he was editor-in-chief at Haymarket Media's national computing title, PC Authority.

Dawson is a 15-year IT industry veteran, previously working for Next Publishing, ZDNet Australia, Baltimore Technologies, The Microsoft Network, and the Australian Department of Defence (Army).

'Ninefold is red hot right now'”a light-speed, high-tech Australian cloud. I'm very excited about engaging with its entrepreneurial customers and finding ways to make the customer experience seamless. I'll also be going full steam ahead to produce a fresh, industry-leading onboarding program,' Dawson said.

'We're forging new ground in the Australian cloud computing space and consequently have to create roles to support our customer programs where appropriate,' said Peter James, Managing Director at Ninefold.

According to James, Ninefold was also recruiting for cloud-forward technical professionals to join the team at its Sydney headquarters, and last year Ninefold team more than tripled in size and 'is set for continued growth in 2012.'
