MELBOURNE, VIC: Network video surveillance supplier, Axis Communications, has expanded its sales team with two industry veterans in order to keep pace with its increased growth in both Australia and New Zealand.

Axis has appointed Trevor Westhead as its new regional sales manager for the southern region in Australia, including Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania.

Based in the Melbourne office, Westhead has a proven IT background as the former account manager for Alloys International.

In the new role of inside sales representative, Michael Pazarcevic joins Axis to support both the Australia and New Zealand regions.

Pazarcevic has several years of experience as sales representative with Open Platform Systems and Anixter and his primary focus with Axis will be to support the local market channels.

“With these additions to our team I am confident that Axis will perform with continued strong growth in both countries,” said Axis Communications’ Country Manager, ANZ, Wai King Wong.

“The migration to IP-based network video surveillance continues to gather speed and these hires are part of our strategic plan for increased support of our expanding scope of projects and customers in the region.”
