Infor, the Industry Cloud Complete company, has announced the appointment of Geoff Thomas as Senior Vice President and General Manager for Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) to strengthen Infor’s commitment to delivering exceptional value and tailored solutions to customers across the region. Based in Sydney, Thomas will focus on enhancing customer experiences and driving innovation in key markets including Japan, Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Southeast & North Asia (SENA), and India. Under his leadership to accelerate growth, Infor will focus on deepening local expertise, expanding its trusted partner network, and providing customers with world-class support and industry-specific cloud technologies designed to help their businesses thrive.

Prior to joining Infor, he spent six years growing Qlik’s business in APJ. Thomas also held senior leadership positions at Microsoft, Juniper Networks, Polycom and OneLogin.

Thomas is off to a fast start, and has made two new appointments in his leadership team -- naming Sydney-based Aidan Brecknell to lead the charge for ANZ as Vice President and Managing Director.
