Seagate strengthens APAC organization

NEW DELHI: Seagate Technology today announced the appointment of BanSeng Teh, vice president and managing director, to lead the company's Asia Pacific Sales and Marketing organization.

He would be responsible to drive the financial performance and success of the Asia Pacific sales and marketing organization by growing revenue and market share across Seagate's enterprise, desktop, notebook, consumer electronics and branded solutions market segments. He has to develop new markets and revenue streams and oversee the regional OEM and distribution channel sales functions.

He would be based in Singapore and would report to Todd Abbott, Seagate executive vice president of Global Sales, Marketing and Customer Service.

"In a market that accounts for over 40 per cent of Seagate's overall revenue, Teh's wealth of experience and knowledge of the Asia Pacific region makes him an ideal candidate for this critical leadership position," said Abbott.

Earlier to assuming this role, Teh was based in Seagate's corporate headquarters in Scotts Valley, USA, heading up the global sales operations, revenue planning, pricing and customer service group. Teh joined Seagate in 1992 as the company's sales manager responsible for ASEAN and the Indian sub- continent. Since then, he has had a number of senior leadership roles in the company.
