Clarizen opens Australian office

Collaborative work management software expert Clarizen has announced its new Australian office, expanding its global footprint in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market.

Clarizen also named Gary Rubinstein to lead the region as country manager, Australia and New Zealand. Rubinstein reports to Guy Shani, vice president of strategic alliances and Asia Pacific Japan, based in San Mateo, California. The new office is located in Melbourne.

“Clarizen’s continued growth highlights global demand for better work management, improved visibility and purposeful collaboration,” said Avinoam Nowogrodski, CEO, Clarizen. “Our new Australian office will serve this tech-savvy region’s need for solutions that help them move faster and adapt to the changes that confront them every day.”

To Clarizen, Rubinstein brings more than 15 years of project management, strategic analysis, system and software implementation, and business consulting experience. Most recently, Rubinstein served as group manager and national practice principal at Revolution IT, a Melbourne-based application lifecycle management consultancy that serves the Asia-Pacific region. He helped the company’s management to expand their vision, which fuelled its growth from 30 to more than 200 employees. Previously, he worked with Systems Union and Cosmos 21+ Group in Melbourne.

“Collaboration, productivity and transparency are top-of-mind for APAC enterprises,” said Rubinstein. “They are looking to get work done as efficiently as possible while collaborating with team members on multiple projects in diverse locations, all in real time. I’m thrilled to join the Clarizen team here in Australia and am committed to making true collaborative work management a reality for companies in the region.”
