“Regarded as one of the world’s fastest-growing markets, South-East Asia is undergoing transformation as businesses redefine themselves to stay relevant,” said Webster.

“South-East Asia is such a dynamic and fast-growing market globally that offers significant opportunities for EMC,” said Henaghan.
 
“I believe that EMC has the ability to lead its customers and partners in their transformation journey and enable them to thrive in the digital era.
 
“I look forward to working closely with our customers and partners in their journey and expanding our market leadership throughout the region,” he added.
