SYDNEY, Australia - Monday, February 10th 2014
Global supply management solutions provider BravoSolution has expanded into the Australian market with a new office in Sydney. The team will support existing clients in the region, including DP World and Bupa. With a focus on Australia and New Zealand as key markets, the Sydney office will also act as the regional hub for the Asia Pacific market.
Leading global Analyst firm Gartner recently ranked BravoSolution as the top overall vendor in its latest Magic Quadrant for strategic sourcing technologies for 'completeness of vision' and scored highly for its 'ability to execute'.
The company has appointed Anthony Larratt as managing director APAC. Larratt has more than 20 years’ experience working for leading companies in the Australian IT and data industries. Claire Sexton also joins the APAC leadership team as account director from the UK where she spent 8 years with BravoSolution.
Anthony Larratt said: “I’m looking forward to leading the APAC operations from Sydney. Expanding into Australia is key to BravoSolution’s growth plans for the region.
“The company wanted to establish a local presence so customers can interact without language or time zone barriers. BravoSolution will create a support centre of excellence in Australia to provide customers with ongoing help and advice.”
It is hoped that the centre of excellence will create a number of additional jobs over forthcoming years.
