About

Results-driven Sales Leader | Head of Cloud & SASE / Enterprise Security Sales APAC | Revenue Growth & Team Performance Executive at Zscaler (Singapore Citizen | Hong Kong PR) Seasoned technology sales executive with a proven track record of building and leading high-performing sales organizations across APAC, driving multi-million-dollar revenue growth in Multi-Cloud, SaaS, SASE, Zero Trust solutions and Professional Services. As Growth Leader at Zscaler, I have led enterprise sales teams focused on Hybrid Mesh and cloud-native security, defining and executing regional sales & marketing strategies that consistently exceeded revenue targets. Key achievements include developing comprehensive go-to-market plans, delivering accurate sales forecasts, recruiting and scaling specialized VAR/channel partner ecosystems, and closing complex enterprise deals by positioning security as a strategic business enabler — not just a technical product — to C-level executives and board-level stakeholders. I excel at leading sales specialists, training and empowering internal field sales forces, managing major account cycles in large organizations, and hunting new business opportunities while maintaining tight forecast discipline using tools like Salesforce. My leadership style combines strategic vision with hands-on execution: building self-sufficient, positive, high-closing teams that thrive in competitive, fast-moving markets. With deep experience in cloud security sales to enterprise customers, executive relationship management, and cross-functional collaboration in matrix environments, I am passionate about scaling revenue engines in the APAC region. #EnterpriseSales #CloudSecurity #SASE #SalesLeadership #RevenueGrowth #ChannelPartners #ZeroTrust #APACSales
