Altia strengthens presence in the Asia Pacific region with senior hires
Leading investigative technology specialist Altia has today announced the appointment of two senior figures in a bid to drive further growth across the Asia Pacific region.
The additions to the team will see Rob Cordy join as Head of Sales with Brandan Lizotte taking on the position of Senior Business Development Manager, with both tasked with developing the company’s presence in the region.
Headquartered in the UK, Altia serves a global audience, providing law enforcement agencies, government departments, and private sector businesses with intelligence and investigation software.
The appointments cement Altia’s position as a leading software provider to a global audience, coming shortly after it expanded its services to launch Altia HQ, a comprehensive platform designed to streamline and accelerate the crime-solving process with the most innovative investigation software.
The new additions to Altia’s team follow the company announcing a new partnership with SOCO – a multi-award-winning IT consultancy, based in Australia, which specialises in the delivery of digital solutions, business applications and integration projects – in February this year.
Rob’s arrival will complement Altia’s services, bringing with him over 30 years of experience in the IT industry across both the private and public sectors, with a proven track record of leading high-performing teams at organisations such as Dell, HP, and IBM.
With extensive expertise in driving sales growth and cultivating team success, his focus will be on helping organisations achieve business process improvements, risk mitigation, and operational efficiencies through Altia’s software solutions.
Brandan brings with him an extensive background in sales and business development and will support Altia’s expansion goals in the region, establishing strategic partnerships and maintaining long-term client relationships.
He holds a background in law enforcement, having served as a police officer between 2012 and 2017, where he ensured operational safety through patrols, responded to incidents, enforced laws and investigated offenses.
Rob Sinclair, Altia CEO, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Rob and Brandan to our team. Individually, they both have a strong track record of driving businesses forward with their expertise in sales, business development, and in creating long-lasting relationships with customers.
“With their combined experience and leadership they will play a pivotal role as we continue to grow and strengthen our presence in the Asia Pacific market.
“We look forward to their contributions and the positive impact they will bring to our organisation, as well as the support they will bring to existing and new customers within the region, helping them to utilise Altia’s technologies and streamline their operations.”
Rob Cordy said:
“I am thrilled to join Altia and help lead the expansion of our innovative solutions in the Asia Pacific region. The dynamic and rapidly growing market here presents incredible opportunities for us.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to enhance our presence and further drive our ambition of providing cutting-edge investigative technology to new heights.”
Brandan added:
“When it comes to providing investigative tech Altia is a world leader in what it does, so naturally I’m delighted to join the team and start contributing to the company’s growth.
“I can’t wait to hit the ground running with the rest of the team, build strong partnerships and help to deliver Altia’s innovative solutions across the region to bring exceptional value and support for our clients.”
Supporting clients with innovative solutions for digital intelligence and investigation, the appointments come at a time when Altia is expanding both its global team and product offerings.
The firm recently launched Altia HQ, a platform which offers law enforcement, government, and regulatory bodies a holistic approach to investigations, allowing users to save time, improve collaboration and identify avenues of interest.
The software provides a consolidated range of investigative modules, giving organisations that conduct investigations interoperable digital tools to support their investigations.
Developed using cloud native technology, the platform adheres to the latest security standards and offers swift module upgrades and adaptations to ensure compliance and feature requirements are met, allowing customers to focus on their investigations instead.
In August, Rob and Brandan will be attending the Fraud & Financial Crime Summit VIC, the most established community for fraud and financial crime leaders across Australia and New Zealand, and also the ANZPAA (Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency) Police Conference in Melbourne in November this year.
Headquartered in Nottingham, Altia specialises in innovative solutions for digital intelligence and investigation, leveraging advanced technologies while providing software tools and services to law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and corporate entities.
