Alastair Rees | Chief Marketing Officer
Our work empowers clients to reimagine their operations and employee experiences through cloud-first solutions.
`
With over two decades in the IT industry, I remain energised by the relentless pace of innovation that continues to reshape how we live and work. Technology’s evolution isn’t just fascinating—it’s transformative, and I’ve been fortunate to witness and contribute to that transformation from multiple vantage points.
My career has spanned the full spectrum of business development, from strategic advisory roles to hands-on execution. At the heart of it all has been a consistent drive: to inspire organisations, guide their growth, and help them unlock their full potential through the smart application of technology.
Since joining the Kocho team in September 2016—following a rewarding seven-year chapter at Microsoft—I’ve been proud to help shape our mission of enabling secure digital transformation.
As CMO, my Become Greater ambition is to elevate our strategic alliances—building a partner ecosystem that reflects our values, complements our capabilities, and accelerates our clients’ success. Beyond partnerships, marketing plays a pivotal role in shaping how we show up in the world. We are the storytellers, the brand stewards, and—most importantly—the custodians of our clients’ trust. Every campaign, every message, and every experience we create is an opportunity to reinforce that trust and deliver meaningful value.
For me, there is no greater feeling than pushing myself out of my comfort zone. So, I enjoy cliff jumping, links golf, or even just a quick 5k run.
