Based in Singapore, Castagne will report directly to Stefan Rath, Senior VP Sales International, who is located in Retarus’ global headquarters in Munich, Germany. He will be responsible for spearheading Retarus’ business operations and driving Retarus’ strategic expansion in Asia Pacific (APAC) across key industries, including banking and finance, logistics, and telecommunications.

APAC remains a key market for Retarus, which continues to see opportunities to further strengthen its footprint in email security and enterprise messaging.

Since 2015, Castagne has been strengthening Retarus’ footprint in Singapore and across the region. Prior to his promotion, he supported the enterprise messaging requirements of Retarus’ APAC clients such as Berjaya, Citi, UPS, Singapore Exchange (SGX), Petronas, and BP Healthcare.

“Dylan’s extensive technical and commercial management experience and keen understanding of the APAC business landscape will help fuel Retarus’ growth in the region as the company strengthens its commitment to solve business challenges through delivering robust enterprise communications, security and mobile solutions,” said Martin Hager, Founder and CEO of Retarus.

Castagne is looking to drive expansion in more APAC markets through bolstering Retarus’ network of strategic partners and alliances across the region and investing in its local teams in Singapore and Australia.

“Sustainable enterprise communications are a key component in accelerating APAC enterprises’ digital transformation journey. My primary goal is to enhance our market strategy and drive Retarus’ fast growth in the region through ensuring the alignment of our enterprise messaging services and email security solutions with APAC enterprises’ requirements,” said Castagne.

Prior to Retarus, Castagne was with Ubisoft Singapore, Out There Media and PGi.
