Mr. Crutchfield began his career in finance after graduating from Deakin University in Melbourne, and holds a postgraduate degree in marketing from Monash University.
Mr. Crutchfield steps into the role vacated by Gary Starr, who was earlier this year promoted to vice president, with responsibility for a number of key countries in the Asia Pacific and Middle East region, including Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and India.
