KPMG Australia turned to former IBM executive Stuart Lewis to lead its Asia Pacific alliances division.
In his new role as director of alliances, Lewis will be primarily responsible for overseeing KPMG’s global alliances with the likes of Oracle and Salesforce while working with local partners and customers.
According to a post on his LinkedIn, Lewis will seek to “unlock the market potential of these transformational platforms; realizing value and empowering change” with partners and customers.
Based in Sydney, Lewis will report to Luke Drummond, partner and national head of the alliances.
Like his predecessor Renee DeLaine, who left KPMG to join Dell Technologies in March, Lewis comes from an IBM pedigree, which first joined the vendor in 2006.
During his 16-year career at IBM, Lewis held several leadership roles, including head of business development for Oracle, executive of strategic alliances for digital partnerships and, most recently, co-partner for digital innovation.
The appointment follows an exciting season for KPMG Australia as the global systems integrator invests heavily in its local IT and security skills.
The company recently hired Martijn Verbree to lead its expanding security division, along with several other partners. It also acquired Brisbane enterprise software integration and automation specialist Rubicon Red and was named ServiceNow’s first global reseller partner for its new environmental, social and governance (ESG) portfolio.
