Telstra has appointed two company veterans to drive growth across Europe, Middle East and Africa. The telecoms and tech vendor has turned to Rob Robinson to lead Telstra Purple in the region, and Gagun Gahir to head up enterprise sales across continental Europe.
Between them the two executives have over 30 years collective experience in the tech sector and will play a pivotal role in shaping Telstra’s EMEA business going forward.
“Being part of the Telstra Purple team gives us the ability to offer a far greater range of services to our customers in the EMEA region and focus on the delivery of solutions to meet customer requirements and desired outcomes,” said Rob Robinson, the newly minted head of Telstra Purple.
“We have always been about combining people, purpose, and technology to achieve truly excellent results and goals. I am looking forward to stepping into my role which will begin to shape a new chapter for Telstra Purple in EMEA and help… our customers with their onward growth,” he added.
Gahir will take charge of the vendor’s enterprise sales team across France, DACH, Benelux and Nordic regions. Formerly, she led Telstra’s Voice Business in EMEA and the Americas, where she worked closely with customers to ensure strategic value in sales and the implementation of products.
“One of Telstra’s greatest strengths is our international network and our ability to serve European customers who are looking to connect to APAC and other corners of the globe,” said Gahir.
“I’m excited to embark on this new role and bring Telstra’s innovative, pioneering solutions to the market,” she added,
