Megaport has today announced that Belle Lajoie, a founding member of Megaport and previously executive vice president of Asia-Pacific at the company, has been appointed to the position of chief commercial officer.

Lajoie, whose previous role has been backfilled internally, will be responsible for driving the global software-defined networking (SDN) leader’s sales strategy globally, leading global business development, channel relationships, strategic partnerships and acquisitions, and leading digital and regional marketing strategies aligned with revenue acceleration.

She will report directly to Megaport’s chief executive officer, Vincent English, who commenting the appointment said: “Belle has been with Megaport since inception and has been instrumental in bringing our Asia-Pacific business to where it is today.

Aligning our global strategy, maximising our channel engagement, scaling our sales engine, and aligning our customer journey to a self-serve, cloud-based consumption model are top priorities. We have a world class team driving upward momentum to capture the unique opportunity Megaport has created by transforming the SDN landscape.”
