Singapore, September 27, 2022: Continuing its ASEAN regional expansion, NEXTGEN Group has appointed Jenny Diamzon as Managing Director, Cyber and Data Resiliency Philippines and Tat Lung Chan as Managing Director of its Malaysia operation.

 

Since entering the Asian region in January 2021 with the establishment of its Singapore HQ, NEXTGEN has driven rapid expansion into three additional countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines), onboarding 12+ vendors ,+52 partners, and underpinned by an aggressive investment plan for the addition of a further +20 staff this coming fiscal year alone.

 

Wendy O’Keeffe, NEXTGEN Group’s EVP and MD for Asia, welcomed Diamzon and Chan to lead the business in Philippines and Malaysia respectively, commending both for their deep understanding of distribution and channel services in their markets.

 

She said “In looking for leaders to continue our growth and expansion into these markets, Jenny and Tat Lung are a great fit with our business objectives and culture. Both bring a dynamic mix of youthful energy and deep experience to our team, having worked in their respective technology markets for over 20 years apiece.

 

I have deep respect for their leadership skills, reputation and relationships, amply evidenced by the success they have achieved in their markets. Diamzon has carved out a distinguished career in Philippines distribution, having spent 10+ years with Westcon Group and Tat Lung has a similarly impressive resume with Malaysian distributors Transition (prior to the acquisition of Exclusive Networks) and System Integrators. As such they are the ideal leaders we need to help propagate NEXTGEN’s innovative channel business and services model across the region.”

Diamzon said in a statement. “I am delighted to be charged with driving NEXTGEN’s continued expansion into the Philippines market. The NEXTGEN business model is compelling for me with its fresh, unique, and innovative approach to distribution and services. I am looking forward to working for a company that drives a positive culture focused on diversity, trust, courage, and empowerment. Most importantly NEXTGEN places the customer at the centre of everything it does, delivering an exceptional partnering experience.”

 

Chan commented, “I’m thrilled by the calibre, inventiveness, and richness of the global vendors that NEXTGEN represents – many of them exclusively - and the deep trust their Partners have earned solving the complex challenges of their customers. I look forward to bringing world-class cloud, data, and cyber security solutions to market through that agency of NEXTGEN’s unique channel offering.” Diamzon and Chan will work closely with existing NEXTGEN Australian, New Zealand and Asia key Cyber and Data resiliency vendors to grow and expand those businesses, as well as developing relationships with new vendors wanting to upscale their Asian channels.
