Guardz expands Australia and New Zealand team

Cybersecurity company Guardz is expanding its presence in Australia and New Zealand by appointing Jesse Gilles as the regional channel partner manager. Gilles, formerly a solutions consultant team lead at Pax8, will report to Danni Munro, Guardz’s director of channel sales for the A/NZ region.

Gilles will focus on supporting channel partners, combining account management with technical responsibilities such as facilitating demonstrations, onboarding, and technical partner support. His role aims to assist managed service providers (MSPs) and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in navigating an evolving security landscape that has moved beyond basic antivirus and backup toward more advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
