Infragistics appoints Luke Hijikata as Australasia regional manager

Luke Hijikata has been hired as Australasia regional manager, re-establishing the company's presence in the region.

Hijikata will help Infragistics better serve its existing customer base and facilitate the company's expansion throughout the region.

He brings two decades of IT industry experience in New Zealand to the organisation.

Infragistics also named Aquion as its newest distributor for Australia and New Zealand to deliver business-critical software solutions within the region.

Aquion provides the link between Infragistics' enterprise software and thousands of resellers in the APAC region.

It represents products that are used by some 16 million developers, testers and operations engineers at some 32,000 organisations.

"Luke brings extensive experience to our team as a manager and technical lead at one of the largest ICT providers in the region," Infragistics founder and CEO Dean Guida says.

"We are pleased to welcome him as a senior leader focused on delivering value to our customers and we are delighted to have him spearhead our Australasia office," he adds.

"We have relied on Infragistics WinForms components to provide unique capabilities for our desktop software for over 10 years," Rider Levett Bucknall IT group manager Derek Campbell says.

"As we migrate our code base to new UI technologies, we look forward to continuing our partnership with Luke and Infragistics."
