Investigative technology specialist Altia has appointed two senior figures in a bid to drive further growth across Asia, Pacific, Australia, and China (APAC).
The additions to the APAC team will see Rob Cordy join as Head of Sales with Brandan Lizotte taking on the position of Senior Business Development Manager, with both tasked with developing the company’s presence in the region.
Headquartered in Nottingham, Altia serves a global audience, providing law enforcement agencies, government departments, and private sector businesses with intelligence and investigation software.
The new additions to Altia’s APAC team follow the company announcing a new partnership with SOCO – a multi-award-winning IT consultancy, based in Australia, which specialises in the delivery of digital solutions, business applications and integration projects – in February this year.
Rob’s arrival will complement Altia’s services, bringing with him over 30 years of experience in the IT industry across both the private and public sectors, with a proven track record of leading high-performing teams at organisations such as Dell, HP, and IBM.
With extensive expertise in driving sales growth and cultivating team success, his focus will be on helping organisations achieve business process improvements, risk mitigation, and operational efficiencies through Altia’s software solutions.
Brandan brings with him an extensive background in sales and business development and will support Altia’s expansion goals in the region, establishing strategic partnerships and maintaining long-term client relationships.
He holds a background in law enforcement, having served as a police officer between 2012 and 2017, where he ensured operational safety through patrols, responded to incidents, enforced laws and investigated offenses.
Rob Sinclair, Altia CEO, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Rob and Brandan to our team. Individually, they both have a strong track record of driving businesses forward with their expertise in sales, business development, and in creating long-lasting relationships with customers.
“With their combined experience and leadership they will play a pivotal role as we continue to grow and strengthen our presence in the APAC market.
“We look forward to their contributions and the positive impact they will bring to our organisation, as well as the support they will bring to existing and new customers within the region, helping them to utilise Altia’s technologies and streamline their operations.”
Rob Cordy said: “I am thrilled to join Altia and help lead the expansion of our innovative solutions in the APAC region. The dynamic and rapidly growing market here presents incredible opportunities for us.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to enhance our presence and further drive our ambition of providing cutting-edge investigative technology to new heights.”
Brandan added: “When it comes to providing investigative tech Altia is a world leader in what it does, so naturally I’m delighted to join the team and start contributing to the company’s growth.
“I can’t wait to hit the ground running with the rest of the team, build strong partnerships and help to deliver Altia’s innovative solutions across the region to bring exceptional value and support for our clients.”
