BRISTOL, UK (July 15, 2025) – Pax8, the leading cloud commerce Marketplace, has today announced its further expansion into the Irish market, with experienced sales leader John Rawl joining as Regional Sales Manager. Rawl will lead Pax8’s Irish operations, working closely with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across the country to drive partner success, deepen engagement and build Pax8’s presence in the region.
Alongside John Rawl’s appointment, Pax8 has also established a new office space in Dublin, which will serve as a base to drive local, in-person support and partner collaboration as Pax8 continues its growth in the Irish market.
Harald Nuij, Pax8 EMEA CEO said: “John brings to Pax8 his deep insight into the Irish MSP ecosystem, and has an impressive track record of driving relationships and partner transformations. His leadership as we expand our Irish presence will be invaluable and signals a major commitment to our partners in Ireland. We’re thrilled to welcome him to Pax8.”
Rawl joins Pax8 with many years of experience in advancing cloud, cybersecurity and AI-driven services in Ireland, and his experience gives him a unique perspective on what MSPs need from a cloud marketplace.
On his appointment, John Rawl said: “My overarching mission as Regional Sales Manager is to establish Pax8 as the go-to cloud Marketplace for Irish MSPs. Building a local team based in our new office space, earning partner trust, and delivering value through tailored solutions and strategic alignment are my top priorities. With Pax8’s technology and partner-first approach, we’re ready to make a meaningful impact in Ireland.”
In this role, Rawl will act as a conduit between Irish MSPs and the wider Pax8 EMEA leadership, ensuring that local market needs are understood and supported within the company’s broader strategy. His focus will include recruiting top talent, driving new partner acquisition, and expanding Pax8’s overall presence in the local MSP community. Kevin O’Loughlin, Founder and CEO at Nostra, said: “What Pax8 brings to the table isn’t just technology — it’s momentum. They’ve stripped away much of the complexity around how MSPs buy, deliver and manage cloud services. That’s been a real accelerator for us at Nostra as we expand across Ireland and Europe. With the market growing fast, Pax8 is helping MSPs like us move even faster.”
