Regional opportunity and execution

Commenting on her appointment, Koh said Asia Pacific continues to be a centre of innovation and enterprise growth. She said the combination of industry expertise and advanced data and hybrid Cloud solutions positions the company to help customers accelerate transformation and generate measurable returns.
