Big Switch Networks, the data centre networking company, has appointed James Wong as GM, South Asia. This is a new role for Big Switch Networks as the company continues to invest in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
Wong’s primary role will be to support Big Switch Networks’ partners in creating end-user demand for next-generation data centre networking solutions, as well as growing the company’s existing South Asia business. Based in Singapore, Wong will report to Mario Vecchio, Big Switch Networks’ MD, APAC.
“The reception to Big Switch Networks and our technology in South Asia has exceeded our expectations,” said Vecchio. “James has extensive industry experience, and will play a crucial role in the business as we continue to gain momentum in the region.”
Wong has more than 25 years of experience in information technology. Most recently, he was MD, Asia, at Alpha7. Prior to joining Alpha7, Wong was A10 Networks’ Head of Channels, APAC, where he oversaw regional activities around the company’s IPO. He has also held senior leadership roles at Siebel, prior to its acquisition by Oracle, and was one of the first employees at Salesforce in Singapore.
“The networking industry is undergoing a huge transformation, and I’m excited to be joining one of the companies leading the charge,” said Wong. “I look forward to playing a meaningful role in expanding Big Switch Networks’ presence in South Asia.”
