Based in Singapore, Wendy will take responsibility for directing the company’s regional sales strategy across APAC, with a focus on supporting customer demand for AI-ready data platforms and hybrid cloud storage environments.
Wendy will manage regional sales operations, strengthening relationships with customers and partners, and driving strategic programmes to increase adoption of the company’s portfolio, including its Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) unified data platform.
