Melbourne, Australia – Saviynt has announced the appointment of Tim Wedande as Field Chief Technology Officer for the Asia Pacific and Japan region. Based in Melbourne, he will be responsible for shaping regional technology direction, engaging with key enterprise clients, and advising organisations managing complex identity security initiatives.
His role will involve close collaboration with customers, partners, and internal teams to drive uptake of the company’s Identity Cloud platform and support business-focused outcomes across the region.
“APJ is a dynamic and rapidly evolving market where organisations are prioritising identity as their core security control,” Alex Lei, Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) at Saviynt, commented.
“Tim’s deep business consulting expertise and customer-first mindset will strengthen our presence in the region and help customers unlock the full value of identity security.”
Tim brings more than two decades of experience in cybersecurity, with a background spanning advisory services and large-scale digital transformation programmes. He has worked extensively with organisations seeking to modernise identity frameworks and align security strategies with broader commercial objectives.
Prior to joining Saviynt, he held a partner role at EY, where he supported global enterprises in regulated sectors to develop scalable and resilient identity capabilities.
“Having worked closely with customers and teams across Saviynt, I’ve seen firsthand how central identity has become to business resilience and growth,” Tim, shared.
“As organisations across APJ accelerate digital and AI-led transformation, there is a clear opportunity to modernise identity as a strategic control plane, enabling stronger security, faster innovation, and measurable business value.”
In his new position, Tim is expected to support enterprises across Asia Pacific and Japan as they advance digital and AI initiatives, with a focus on strengthening identity as a central component of security and operational resilience while enabling innovation and measurable business outcomes.
The Asia Pacific market for identity and access management is continuing to expand, supported by increased investment in digital transformation, evolving compliance demands, and heightened cybersecurity concerns.
Organisations across the region are also adapting to hybrid working models and cloud-led infrastructure strategies, contributing to sustained growth in demand for identity-focused solutions. Industry projections indicate that the regional market could grow substantially by the end of the decade.
