Broadband ISP Internode has appointed Anthony Hayman and Tim Kupris as business development managers, based in Sydney.

Internode's national sales manager, Daryl Knight, said he had recruited well-connected Sydney business development professionals in order to increase Internode's visibility at the big end of town.

Hayman has four decades of experience in the telecommunications industry including senior sales and business development roles with Telstra, Nortel, Ericsson, Zintel and, most recently, Essential Data & Voice. Kupris has worked for major telecommunications companies in Australia and the US, including AT&T and US-based XO Communications. Hayman said building strong relationships with formal and informal business partners was the key to unlocking growth in the sale of corporate communication services. Kupris said he was especially interested in developing business opportunities in Canberra.
