He brings more than 20 years of experience in international business
Forcepoint appoints George Chang as VP-Sales for the APAC region. Based out of Singapore, Chang will report to chief revenue officer, Sean Foster.
“In the new digital and mobile world where there is no longer a perimeter, the detection and protection of data using point products is just not good enough. The market is moving to cyber solutions that adapt protection based on the context of user behavior, and we need inspirational and driven leaders to help customers and partners address this paradigm shift,” said Foster. “George and his team will help lead the charge in delivering the most intelligent systems that facilitate business and foster productivity while stopping bad cyber activity.”
Chang brings more than 20 years of experience in international business across the technology industry. Most recently, he served as regional vice president of APAC sales at Fortinet in Singapore. Prior to this, George held senior leadership roles in multiple technology companies including OpenNet Pte. Ltd., SYSTEX South Asia, Inter-touch Pte. Ltd., and STSN (Asia Pacific). George earned his master’s degree in international business from the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia and a bachelor’s degree in business computing from Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
“As the network perimeter dissolves, companies are looking to how, when and why people interact with data – and where this information travels,” said Chang. “We have the unique opportunity to partner with Asia-Pacific companies to ensure their users and critical business data are protected everywhere. These organizations can maximize their investments by putting cyber behaviors at the center of their security equation.”
