"We are extremely pleased to welcome Angeline to support and lead our incredible teams across the Australia and New Zealand region, who are at the forefront of unlocking the digital transformation potential for our clients," said Rackspace managing director for Asia Pacific and Japan Sandeep Bhargava.
"She brings a wealth of enterprise IT experience and outstanding track record for leading and transforming businesses. We are confident she will accelerate Rackspace Technology's success and contribute to the growth and client success outcomes that will define our next phase of growth."
Maronese joined Rackspace in late 2020, and most recently held the role of director of sales for Australia and New Zealand.
Her two decades years of enterprise IT services experience includes working as NSW industry x.0 lead at Accenture, and sales and business development roles at DXC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (and its predecessors).
"It is an honour to step into this position at Rackspace Technology at a time of such exciting growth for the organisation," said Maronese. "I look forward to building on strong foundations and leading this high calibre team to continue making an impact that matters.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to assist our customers and partners on their digital transformation journey, accelerate the value of the cloud, and ensure Rackspace Technology continues to be recognised as the best partner in the marketplace, helping companies on their journey to get the most out of their cloud investment."
Sean Girvin, Maronese's predecessor, has been promoted to the dual roles of SVP acquisition Americas, and managing director, Canada. He will move to Rackspace Technology's head office in Texas.
"I'm extremely pleased of our success to date and believe now is the perfect time to pass the baton to Angeline. She has the experience to continue pushing Rackspace Technology's mission and to take our operations, offerings and partnerships to the next level.
"It's been an absolute privilege to help step change the business for the past two years, and to work with so many great people, partners and clients to succeed in their digital ambitions."
He added "As much as I love Australia and NZ, I am very much looking forward to this opportunity both in scale and challenge. Having being born and raised in Canada it is also a bit of homecoming of sorts."
Bhargava said "I would also like to thank Sean for his contributions to the region and wish him the best as he takes on his new role."
