In the bid to transform its APAC partner team, Wireless network solutions vendor Cradlepoint has named Judy Faulkner as the new partner account manager for Australia and New Zealand and Tim Karamitos as regional sales manager, managed service providers for Asia Pacific. Faulkner will be entrusted to supervise the partner sales and engagement in ANZ, round up new partners and guide partner sales reps and engineers. 

She will be based in Sydney and report to John Boladian, APAC partner sales VP. Faulkner previously worked as a senior channel account manager at McAfee. She has also held titular positions in channel sales in Argus TrueID and Hewlett Packard, and as an account manager for Symantec.

Faulkner said that she is excited to join the company and share the Wireless WAN technology with the greater channel community. 

On the other hand, Karamitos will be a torchbearer in cementing Cradlepoint’s relationships with key service providers in assigned customer accounts within the Asia Pacific region. He will be responsible for meeting the MSP account performance objectives and customers’ expectations by establishing coordinations with the internal teams. Karamitos will execute his work from Melbourne and report directly to Gavin Wilson, Cradlepoint's APAC MD Gavin Wilson. Prior to this, he worked in Citrix  for 15 years. His recent position was principal corporate account manager at Citrix.

Karamitos will be looking forward to working with the innovative partners and harnessing the power of 4G and 5G to deliver powerful solutions to customers.

On the inclusion of two new members in Cradlepoint, Wilson said that they bring a wealth of experience with themselves which will be a huge asset to the company and partners in the region.
