"Justin's appointment supports our constant evolution and business growth, and forms part of our efforts to ensure we have the right talent and expertise at the forefront of our organisation," Emma de Sousa, managing director UK & senior vice president marketing EMEA, said in a statement.

"Cloud is a huge growth area for us, and we're delighted to appoint Justin to help our clients navigate their unique cloud journeys with confidence."
