Fujitsu has beefed up its Australian operations with the appointment of a new senior management team comprising a ‘cabinet’ of group executive directors including senior executives who came across to Fujitsu with the recent acquisitions of KAZ and Supply Chain Consulting.



Former KAZ CEO, Mike Foster, has been appointed as Fujitsu’s group executive director of sales and business development for Australia and New Zealand, with overall responsibility for the growth of Fujitsu’s business with new capabilities from the recent acquisitions of KAZ and Supply Chain Consulting.

Also appointed to the Fujitsu cabinet are the former head of Supply Chain Consulting, Ian Hodge, who will have overall responsibility of Fujitsu’s SAP practice, and Michael Blake, who will look after the company’s federal government business.

At the previously Telstra-owned KAZ, Foster directed Telstra service solutions, having joined Telstra in March 2000 as the managing director, Telstra business & government sales.

Prior to nine years working at Telstra, Foster was managing director, Australia & New Zealand for EMC and managing director of NCR Australia. He was also on the boards of Telstra New Wave, TelstraClear, Stellar Communications, the AIIA, and a member of the International Marketing Institute Advisory Council.

Fujitsu CEO for Australia and New Zealand, Rod Vawdrey, said today Foster would ensure that a seamless transition continues with the integration of the recent acquisitions.

Vawdrey said Foster would be “responsible for driving the business strategy at the enterprise level and accelerating the firm’s presence as the third largest ICT company in the Australian and New Zealand marketplace.”

Vawdrey also announced the appointment of Ian Hodge as group executive director of enterprise solutions for Australia and New Zealand, and Michael Blake to the position of group executive director of federal government for Fujitsu Australia, responsible for driving the Fujitsu offerings with the Federal Government.
