Netsolutions, Australian IT implementation company, is chasing greater market share as it adds to its management team with the appointment of Erin Harte as general manager and Richard Savage as principal consultant.
 

The company’s CEO, Theo Dimopoulos, said both appointments were part of Netsolutions’ vision to become the market leader in technical and professional services for emerging data centre, networking and security solutions.
 
Dimopoulos said Harte had been tasked with helping to grow Netsolutions’ business through a consultancy based approach, and he would be responsible for developing a new sales strategy, to allow him to more time to work on the business.

Dimopoulos said both appointments supported the company’s consultancy led approach and would be a great asset to Netsolutions as the company looked to take further market share this year.

Netsolutions was founded in Melbourne in 1995 by Dimopoulos and specialises in providing technical and professional services to Juniper Networks and IBM customers, including Australia Post, Village Roadshow, Catholic Education Office (Vic & SA), Deakin and Adelaide Universities, Lockheed Martin and BUPA Health.

Prior to joining Netsolutions, Harte was general manager at GGI, a technology investment company, with responsibility for an investment portfolio of over $20 million.  Savage, who joins Netsolutions as principal consultant, is an IT security specialist having previously worked for Juniper Networks where he was senior systems engineer responsible for developing networking and security solutions for major enterprise accounts and strategic service provider customers.

Savage has also held senior roles at Sytec, an IT professional services company in New Zealand.
