Rockwell Automation has appointed Scott Wooldridge as its managing director for Australia and New Zealand.
Wooldridge will oversee sales and business operations in Australia and New Zealand and be responsible for the company’s growth and performance strategy.
He'll be responsibility for 'people and strategy' in relation to sales, service, delivery, projects and customer care.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with our key distributors, system integrators, end users and OEMs to make sure they continue to be well supported with industry leading power, automation and data management solutions and services," Wooldridge said.
"These solutions provide key competitive advantages for our PartnerNetwork organisations, enabling them to be market-leading entities in their own right.”
Wooldridge was formerly the CEO of ASX-listed company Energy Action, and has experience in the IoT and big data space.
He said he was looking forward to leveraging his domain knowledge to help customers address challenges and align Rockwell Automation solutions to their business drivers.
“Connectivity is expected everywhere now - the need to securely align Information Technology with Operational Technology to share data transparently, while retaining data integrity is critical to support improved business productivity outcomes across the organisation," Wooldridge said.
"My key focus is to help customers enable The Connected Enterprise. That is, to understand the business outcomes connected ecosystems deliver, instead of focusing on individual components,” he said.
