Senior Director - Apj, Apac, Mea | Cloud & Hosting Business Lead - Asia
Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Ch
While at Acronis Asia Pte Ltd. I served in multiple positions, having been promoted through increasing levels of scope and responsibility; in 2015 I served as the Cloud & Hosting Business Lead for Asia, in 2016 as the Senior Director of Cloud Business for APAC & MEA, and from 2017 to 2019 I was the Senior Director for Cloud Business in APJ. Throughout these roles I built the Acronis Cyber Security Cloud, Software-defined-Storage, and Disaster Recovery Cloud business in Asia from the ground up; I progressed from acting as an individual contributor to managing a cross-functional team of presales, sales, and sales operations professionals to sell into the public sector, SMB, and enterprise. This involved engaging both directly and indirectly with sales channel partners to foster a collaborative approach to achieving objectives.A few of my notable accomplishments were:• Growing revenue from nothing to $6M in ARR.• Overhauling the APAC Cloud Business portfolio, model, and partner program, which included the end-to-end business cycle, to replicate successes achieved within Asia in other countries across the APAC and MEA regions.• Opening up the South Korea, Malaysia, and Greater China region Cloud market; allowed for the launch and expansion of the Acronis data centre footprint with partners in Malaysia and South Korea.• Selling into over 70% of regional large/top Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Managed Service Providers (MSP) to adopt Acronis Cyber Security/Cloud (Public, Private and Hybrid) solutions and converting more than 30% of traditional ISV, SI, and IT resellers into transformed subscription (CAPEX to OPEX) businesses.
