Hodge, the former head of Supply Chain Consulting, will assume responsibility for the operations and management of Fujitsu’s SAP practice, which Vawdrey said had become “the largest in South East Asia, comprising more than 500 SAP practitioners.

“Ian manages the new capabilities of Fujitsu since the acquisition of Supply Chain and the upcoming projects in the region, as part of Fujitsu’s broad-based IT services for enterprise customers.”

Vawdrey said that for over 25 years Hodge had worked in senior management positions in the software and IT services sector in Australia, including five years with SAP where, as part of the Australian executive team, he was responsible for sales in key industries.

As the newly appointed group executive director of federal government for Fujitsu, Michael Blake says the company is “committed to helping the Federal Government gain real benefits through the delivery of IT services and solutions.”

Vawdrey said Blake had extensive experience providing large and complex IT based systems to the Federal Government that enable agencies to deliver their programs, and he said the new management team would give Fujitsu’s offerings a “competitive strength to drive strong and steady growth in various sectors across the region.”
