Ronald Tan Country Director for Singapore, Veritas

Veritas Technologies LLC appointed Ronald Tan as country director for Singapore.

In his new role, he will be responsible for leading company’s overall business strategy, sales operations and growth strategy in Singapore.

He joins Veritas from Cisco Systems, where he last held the role of regional sales director and led the enterprise networking, software and cloud businesses for the ASEAN region. In his 11-year stint with Cisco Systems, he held numerous leadership positions across diverse sectors including government, enterprise and commercial. Under his leadership, the sales and channels teams achieved market gains and consistently met their business revenue targets for consecutive years.

Prior that, he spent time at Hewlett-Packard, Horizon.com and National Computer Systems where he was instrumental in driving strategic engagements for public sector organizations and large enterprises, cultivating partner networks and delivering large-scale digital transformation projects.

Upon assuming his new role, he will focus on deepening the strategic relationships with partners and customers to deliver positive business value from Veritas. He will also be spearheading initiatives that promote a people-centric and innovative culture.

“In a fast-changing business landscape, organisations that embrace a digital-first strategy would be better prepared to strengthen their business resilience and agility,” said Andy Ng, VP and MD for Asia South and Pacific region. “With Ronald’s proven track record of building strong winning teams and championing digital transformation initiatives, I am confident that he will be able to accelerate Veritas’ growth in Singapore while addressing the triple challenge – growing data estates, increasing ransomware threats and ensuring regulatory compliance – faced by our customers today as they navigate the complexities across multi-cloud environments.“

“This is an exciting time for Veritas. As organisations plan for post-pandemic future and find ways to minimize disruptions to catch the hybrid cloud transition, it is now more important than ever for them to deploy cloud optimized, autonomous data management solutions that eliminate the need for human intervention while increasing efficiency and security. I look forward to leading the Singapore team to bolster business productivity and data management capabilities for our customers, so that they can focus on their key strategic business activities,” said Tan.  

He enjoys playing golf and cycling in his free time.
