Hendry in as GM at AVG

Anti-virus and security software firm AVG (Aus/NZ) has appointed Sam Hendry as new general manager.

Hendry joins AVG after years of experience in local government and IT. Prior to the appointment he was general manager sales and marketing at QK, an Australian/New Zealand consumer technology support company.

"It is is exciting to be joining a company that is visionary in both the products it markets and business models it follows. The potential and growth opportunities for this business are extraordinary," said Hendry.

Managing director Peter Cameron said: "With the doubling of our staff over the last 18 months to nearly fifty, we have had to ensure that we provide a more sophisticated level of management.

"Sam joins us to head up all our operational divisions which allows me to spend more time working on the strategic aspects of our product, channel, partner and client offerings. "
