Webster said Iannessa's appointment to the global services director position will see him become a part of the EMC ANZ senior leadership team. 'EMC has been investing significantly in its Global Services offering to deliver an enhanced service delivery model and a well-balanced portfolio of initiatives focused on customer experience, efficiency and growth. I am confident Adrian will lead EMC's Global services business it to its next important phase of growth in the ANZ market.' 

Based in Melbourne, Iannessa will report directly to Webster and to Peter Lacoste, vice president, global services, EMC Asia Pacific and Japan.
