Mumbai: TeamViewer, a global SaaS provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalisation solutions, has announced that Sojung Lee joins the company as president for the Asia-Pacific region including China, Japan, India, Australia, and New Zealand (APAC) at the beginning of December. In this role, she will also join TeamViewer's global senior leadership team.

Lee is an experienced senior executive with a proven capability in building and leading high-impact teams. Her responsibility encompasses all go-to-market activities in APAC, including direct sales as well as developing an ecosystem of strong alliances such as channel partners, distributors and resellers. Among other measures, Lee will put an emphasis on leveraging the potential of TeamViewer’s existing sports partnerships with Manchester United and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team. Based in Singapore, she will build a regional APAC sales hub for TeamViewer, in addition to the existing strong local presence in Japan, China, India, and Australia.

"With her strong track record of generating extraordinary business growth, her proven leadership skills, and her extensive know-how of the market requirements in the region, she will play an integral role in bringing our new setup for APAC to life."
Lee brings comprehensive experience in sales leadership, demand generation, business growth, and digital strategy in the enterprise IT and services industry across the APAC region. In her previous role at SolarWinds, she succeeded as vice president of Asia Pacific and Japan sales, driving business development, partnerships, and overseeing the APAC sales team to strengthen the brand and extend its market position. Prior to SolarWinds, Lee spent over eight years with IBM Asia Pacific in different positions, most recent being a sales executive/director. Before her tenure at IBM, she built a strong reputation as a business development executive in Korea and China.
"TeamViewer is a great company with value-creating products, a global footprint and a compelling narrative. I am excited to join this truly international and diverse workforce sharing strong company values," said Sojung Lee on her new assignment. "Supporting clients in digitally transforming their businesses and optimising their processes along the entire value chain is a very attractive task I want to bring forward together with the teams we have in place across the region and a strong APAC partner network."
