Fellow Australian Aris joined the company in April. With experience at global Fortune 500's in New York, Shanghai and Australia, she has worked with the likes of Telstra and Westpac and consulted with Microsoft and Sprint.

Detailing the company’s progress, Aris said “TasmaNet connected the first nbntm Enterprise Ethernet service in Australia earlier this year after being among the first providers accredited to sell the new product, and has recently sold the largest deal to date to the Catholic Education Office in Tasmania.

“We have developed robust systems that allow us to deliver multiple upgraded connections quickly, and our direct relationship with nbn Co as a wholesale provider means we can manage complex projects with minimal service interruption to customers. Our customers enjoy Internet connections far better than the regular NBN product, for a similar price.”
