Eric Hoh to lead FireEye APJ business

BANGALORE, INDIA: FireEye Inc. announced the appointment of Eric Hoh as President of Asia Pacific Japan. In his new role, Hoh will oversee FireEye’s business operations and sales across the Asia Pacific region.

He is based at the company’s regional headquarters in Singapore and the first to hold the role.

Hoh brings 20 years of technology industry experience to FireEye. He most recently led Symantec’s regional sales in Asia South and Korea. Prior to Symantec, he held sales leadership roles with Veritas Software and Seagate Software.

With the Asia Pacific region’s dynamic geopolitics and rapid economic growth, state-sponsored threat groups routinely target and breach organizations within every country in the region. These groups steal proprietary information to gain advantage in commerce and national security.

“FireEye is expanding rapidly in the region and Eric’s experience, passion for security and deep knowledge of these diverse markets make him an ideal leader to grow our Asia Pacific team,” said Dave DeWalt, FireEye Chairman of the Board and CEO.

Since it began Asia Pacific operations in Australia in 2010, FireEye has grown its regional presence from a single employee to over 350 employees including a Research & Development Center in Bangalore and a joint Singtel-FireEye Advanced Security Operations Centre in Singapore, which opened in February 2015.
