Certus Consulting, an IBM Premier Partner for Software, and leading IT consulting and implementation company, announced
today the appointment of Gary Martini, to Account Director. Based in Christchurch, Mr Martini will be responsible for
managing key South Island accounts, as well as new business development.
According to Penny White, General Manager Services and Operations, Certus Consulting, the appointment of Mr Martini
reflects the company's commitment to expanding its nationwide operation. "Mr Martini has more than thirty years
experience in implementation, managerial and business development roles within the Christchurch IT industry. His
considerable knowledge of the local market, as well as his solid understanding of the IBM product range, significantly
