Brendan Bain steps into Vanessa Sorenson’s shoes as local Enterprise Director
Microsoft New Zealand is welcoming a new senior executive to its team, Asia-Pacific cloud and business specialist
Brendan Bain. Bain is to fill the role of Enterprise Director, left vacant by Vanessa Sorenson’s appointment as Managing
Director at the beginning of April.
It’s not Bain’s first stint at Microsoft, having spent seven years at the company working with both partners and
enterprise customers.
"I started working with cloud computing at Microsoft 15 years ago and I am really looking forward to rejoining the
Microsoft team and supporting our enterprise customers, particularly in these challenging times," he said.
With a technology career spanning nearly three decades, Bain has significant experience in sales and business
development across Asia Pacific for the likes of Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
“We’re very lucky to have someone of Brendan’s calibre join us, as someone who’s helped so many organisations achieve
their full potential through digital transformation. As New Zealand businesses embrace technology and new ways of
working more than ever, Brendan’s expertise will be of immense value to our customers as well as our team,” Sorenson
said.
