Digital marketing and automation platform Constant Contact has named Gerard Smith as its APAC head of partnerships.
Smith joins from WP Engine where he held the role of APAC head of agency partnerships. In that role, he was responsible for fostering greater growth among digital marketing, web development, e-commerce, and media agencies across the region, and engaging and growing the company’s reseller community.
Based out of Constant Contact’s regional headquarters in Brisbane, Smith joins Sam Whitmore, who was appointed in January as the company’s APAC head of commercial.
Whitmore has held numerous executive roles at Salesforce in the United Kingdom, largely focused on SMB customers, most recently as the regional vice president for the travel, transport and hospitality industries.
Constant Contact's VP for Asia Pacific, Renee Chaplin, said the agency's partners continue to be important drivers of expansion and the company intends to double down on its commitment to them in-region to help their businesses be more successful in 2024.
“Bringing Gerard Smith on board as our APAC Head of Partnerships further demonstrates how important this region is to Constant Contact,” said Chaplin.
