In this role, Chris will lead the team to focus on continuing to build and deliver HP’s world class Managed Print Solutions (MPS) in Australia and New Zealand, on HP’s proven three part strategy: optimising infrastructure, effectively managing the environment and improving and streamlining workflows. The strategy has resulted in industry analyst firm, Gartner, Inc. placing HP in the ‘Leaders Quadrant’ in its 2010 Magic Quadrant Report for MPS Worldwide for its completeness of vision, as well as its ability to execute.

Chris comes on board as HP signs a growing list of MPS contracts including 3M Australia, Allens Arthur Robinson (AAR), who renewed their contract last year and SGS, who have realised cost savings between 30-70 percent by choosing HP’s industry-leading MPS offerings, while reducing their environmental footprint. HP is also on the MPS panel for the Department of Education NSW and, as recently announced in 2011, on the New Zealand All-of-Government panel.

Chris joined HP in January 2007 as a Major Account Manager and was promoted to District Sales Manager in 2008 with responsibility for the Southern & New Zealand Regions. Prior to joining HP, Chris held sales and marketing roles at Lexmark and Ericsson Telecommunications.

Chris replaces Guyon Collins, who has transferred to North America as the Account Director of Staples.
