GLOBAL research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc has appointed Daniel Dau (pic) to the role of area vice president and country manager for Malaysia, based in Kuala Lumpur.

Dau has transitioned from Gartner in Boston, USA, where he managed a team of senior sales professionals providing supply chain, digital marketing and IT research, advisory, and consulting services to C-level leaders in large multi-national companies in industry sectors including retail, consumer goods, manufacturing, banking and insurance.

Dau has been with Gartner for nine years in several different roles in the USA. Prior to that he worked for Wells Fargo Bank based in San Francisco. He is currently completing an MBA at Babson College in the Franklin W. Olin Graduate School of Business.

“Gartner is a market leader, a growth company celebrating 25 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth,” said Dau. “It’s a great place to work as we make an impact on a global scale — 74% of the Fortune Global 500 trust us to help them tackle their critical business and technology challenges.”

Gartner reported US$2.44 billion in global revenue for 2016, and following its acquisition of CEB in early 2017, is now a US$3.4 billion company. Clients outside the US provided 40% of Gartner’s 2016 revenue.

“After nine years at Gartner in the USA, it’s a great honour and opportunity to lead the Gartner business in Malaysia. It’s an exciting place to be,” he said.

According to Gartner’s latest forecast, spending on technology products and services in Malaysia is expected to reach more than RM71.7 billion (US$16.76 billion), an increase of 8% from last year, and grow to almost RM82.7 billion (US$19.33 billion) in 2020.

“The Gartner Malaysia team is made up of talented, collaborative people who have an amazing culture and are extremely client focused,” Dau said.

“We have a great business here in Malaysia and we look forward to continuing delivering value to our current clients and growing our business.”
