My priority is to build inclusive, high performing teams and refine organizational strategy as needed to best deliver these services and solutions to customers.”
Parker joins ScienceLogic after holding senior leadership positions with Capgemini and Unisys, where he was responsible for sales and business strategy within Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region which resulted in significant business growth.
