Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, has announced the appointment of Lim Hsin Yin (pic) as vice president of Sales for the Asean region. In this role, Lim will oversee Cohesity’s business strategy, sales operations, and growth initiatives across the region.
An industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in the tech sector, Lim joins Cohesity from SAS, where she was managing director for Singapore. At SAS, she led the organisation’s business transformation agenda and drove significant market share growth through strategic partnerships and increased adoption of AI and predictive analytics solutions.
Prior to SAS, Lim spent 11 years at Dell EMC, starting as financial services director in Singapore before taking on regional leadership roles in mid-market sales across Asean and Korea, and cloud and data storage for Singapore and Malaysia. Under her leadership, sales and channel teams consistently surpassed revenue targets year after year. Earlier in her career, Lim served as managing director for Avaya in Singapore and held senior roles at IBM in software and financial services.
“Success in cybersecurity requires organisations to enhance their cyber resilience as cyber criminals increasingly exploit modern tools to amplify the scale and speed of their attacks. While modern technologies like AI enable efficiency and innovation, they also demand constant vigilance to meet data security and regulatory requirements,” Lim said.
“In today’s evolving threat landscape, it is crucial for organisations to prioritise cybersecurity and cyber resilience in their digital transformation efforts to ensure data is always secure and accessible. I look forward to leading the ASEAN team in strengthening our customers’ cyber resilience and data management capabilities, empowering them to unlock the full potential of AI and achieve their business goals,” she added.
Mark Nutt, senior vice president, Sales, International Region, Cohesity, commented: “This is an exciting time for Cohesity as we deliver industry-leading cyber resilience solutions for data security with cutting-edge AI capabilities. I’m delighted to welcome Lim to lead our Asean sales team and build on the strong growth we’ve experienced across individual markets in recent years.
“I look forward to her joining the International Leadership team and contributing her extensive experience in driving market share growth across cloud infrastructure, AI, data analytics, and enterprise software at SAS and Dell EMC. Her proven ability to foster trust and lead high-performance, diverse teams aligns perfectly with Cohesity’s values. Our customers, partners, and employees will undoubtedly benefit from her expertise and personal approach,” he added.
In her free time, Lim champions social causes and mentoring initiatives. She serves as Chairwoman of the SGTech AI Skills and Training Committee and participates in industry councils.
