David has a deep understanding of the industries and markets Hills operate in, and a proven ability to work with customers, vendors and partners to drive growth and deliver results,” she said.
Lenz has more than 25 years’ experience in sales, business development, management and operational leadership across Australia and New Zealand, Asia Pacific and the Global ICT markets.

“The business continues its transformational journey and I am excited and committed to continuing to lead this iconic company through this time of change,” said Lenz.
