Hitachi Vantara has appointed Wendy Koh as vice president of sales for the Asia Pacific region, effective immediately.

Based in Singapore, Koh will lead the company’s technical sales strategy across Asia Pacific as demand grows for AI-enabled data and hybrid cloud storage solutions. She will also oversee regional sales teams, strengthen customer and partner relationships, and drive adoption of Hitachi Vantara’s products, including its Virtual Storage Platform One unified data platform.

Koh reports to Adrian Johnson, senior vice president and general manager for the Americas and Asia Pacific at Hitachi Vantara.

“AI is fundamentally transforming enterprise data management, with the APAC data center market expected to grow at a 22 percent CAGR by 2029, driven by AI and cloud adoption,” Johnson said. “It is imperative that we have the right leadership in place to meet this moment, and Wendy brings an unmatched wealth of expertise in understanding the complex digital challenges facing enterprises today.”

Koh brings more than 30 years of experience in IT consulting, infrastructure management, and digital transformation. She previously served as executive vice president for Southeast Asia at Capgemini and has held leadership roles at Cisco, Juniper and NetApp.

“Asia Pacific is a powerhouse of innovation and growth, and I’m honored to lead Hitachi Vantara’s next chapter in this dynamic region,” Koh said.

She is also an independent, non-executive director at ASMPT Ltd., a Singapore-based semiconductor equipment company.
