Chris Morris Joins Saugatuck as Senior Research Director
Saugatuck opens new office in Australia.
Westport, CT (PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- Saugatuck Technology, a research-based
consultancy, today announced that Chris Morris has joined the firm as Senior
Research Director. Mr. Morris is based in Sydney, Australia, and is Saugatuck's
first representative in the Asia/Pacific region. He will develop and direct
research and consulting projects for the firm within Asia/Pacific and provide
all Asia/Pacific perspectives for the growing number of global engagements that
Saugatuck is undertaking.
As a recognized IT analyst and commentator on
the Asia/Pacific IT markets, Mr. Morris brings to Saugatuck more than 25 years
of business development, technical, marketing, and relationship management
experience in IT and related technologies. The Asia/Pacific region contains many
discrete markets, including the two that are generally regarded as the fastest
growing IT markets in the world – China and India. Mr. Morris's knowledge of
these markets will contribute valuable insights to Saugatuck's
clients.
Mr. Morris comes to Saugatuck after founding Morris & Patryn
Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based consultancy providing marketing, market development,
partner development and relationship management services to IT and
high-technology-focused vendors. Prior to founding this company, Mr. Morris was
employed by Gartner, a US-based research and advisory firm for IT buyers. He
joined Gartner in 1992 as their first analyst in the Asia/Pacific region, and
left in 2001 as Group Vice President and Director of Research for Asia/Pacific.
During this time, Mr. Morris developed and managed advisory services for vendor
and user firms, focusing on regional IT trends, vendor partnerships and
alliances within the Asia/Pacific region, the metamorphosis of the data centre,
and the business management of IT.
“Chris is a proven leader at
understanding and developing the right combinations of technology and business
strategies,” said McNee. “His experience in the fast-growing Asia/Pacific region
and knowledge of the local markets and how the IT business is run there will
make a significant contribution to the success of our high-growth consulting and
strategic intelligence practice.”
“Saugatuck Technology is unique – a
strong and growing firm with exciting clients in an otherwise challenged
marketplace,” said Morris. “It is a privilege to be associated with such a
high-profile team of consultants and analysts. I am excited to join a team with
such breadth and depth of experience, and I welcome the opportunity to
contribute and see the business grow in Asia/Pacific.”
