RED HAT REGIONAL LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 (Bernama) -- Red Hat Inc, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, has announced the appointment of Dirk-Peter (DP) van Leeuwen as senior vice president and general manager of North America Commercial Sales.

Marjet Andriesse, who joined Red Hat as vice president of Sales in Asia Pacific in October last year, succeeds van Leeuwen in leading the company’s Asia Pacific region as vice president and general manager.

According to a statement, the appointments are with immediate effect. Both van Leeuwen and Andriesse will report to Red Hat’s executive vice president of Global Sales and Services, Larry Stack.

Since joining Red Hat in 2004, van Leeuwen has been instrumental in enabling customer success and scaling the business internationally, having played a key role in establishing Red Hat’s operations in the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg), and central and eastern Europe.

In his new role, van Leeuwen will further drive digital transformation as leader of Red Hat’s commercial business in North America, including sales, consulting and channel activities, with plans to relocate to North America from Singapore in the coming months.

Andriesse has quickly established herself as a respected and experienced sales leader since joining Red Hat last year, prioritising customer satisfaction and team collaboration to deliver results.

With more than 25 years of broad industry experience, Andriesse, in her new role, will be instrumental in driving the next phase of growth for Red Hat in the Asia-Pacific region and leading initiatives to enable customer success with open hybrid cloud technology.

Meanwhile, Stack said: “DP’s leadership and strategic thinking have fuelled our growth in Asia Pacific and helped turn Red Hat into a truly global enterprise. Marjet’s balance of proven sales leadership and industry expertise makes her the right person to pick up the mantle from DP.”
