Australian IT services provider, Frontline Systems, has promoted its national sales manager, Bill Frangeskakis, to general manager, along with a number of other senior management appointments.

Steve Murphy, managing director of the Frontline group, announced the appointment of Frangeskakis, a 30-year industry veteran, who said that Frontline had experience growth in a tough year across the markets.
 
Murphy also announced the move of Paul Hepher from a board position to take up an operational role as the company’s Canberra branch manager, and the appointment of Tarquin Bellinger as Frontline’s business development and product manager.

Murphy said Frangeskakis had a wealth of IT experience in senior management roles in sales and marketing for companies including Computer Plus, Praxa and Integrand Solutions, and had opened Frontline’s Melbourne’s office in 2001, building a thriving business during one of the toughest times for the IT industry.

Hepher worked with IBM and Sun Microsystems where he was responsible for their federal government business in Australia, and previously worked internationally before returning to Australia.
 
Tarquin Bellinger previously worked with BT Wholesale, where he was responsible for the development of an integrated wholesale portfolio strategy.

Frangeskakis claimed Frontline was one of the few IT businesses in Australia to see growth in what has been a “tough year across the markets.”

“We’re seeing some exciting trends emerge, with professional and managed services playing an ever-increasing role in what clients need from us. We aim to meet that demand by helping businesses identify, plan and run their IT assets.”
