Avelacom, a provider of low latency connectivity, IT infrastructure, and data solutions for international financial markets, today announced the opening of a new office in Hong Kong and a significant new appointment to its senior APAC team.
The region's new vice president of sales is Timothy Wong. He brings with him more than 15 years of experience in sales, business development, and technology working with data and network technologies. He formerly worked for Xenith IG (formerly Superloop Asia), where he was in charge of institutional sales and the growth of commercial ties with key alliances throughout APAC.
Avelacom's experience will be strengthened by the appointment, which will also promote the company's APAC expansion strategy, which includes gaining new clients, establishing new points of presence (PoPs), and developing new goods specifically for the region.
In order to facilitate this growth, Avelacom has also leased new office space in Hong Kong. Avelacom's dedication to the area is strengthened by this, as seen by the launch of its Singapore office in 2018.
Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, said: “We welcome Timothy and value his deep and diverse expertise across the region. He combines exceptional product and service knowledge along with direct selling skills. He is well connected with the local community of enterprises, vendors, and our clients. We are sure of his leading role in the region and his capabilities to run our new Hong Kong office successfully.”
Timothy Wong, VP of Sales APAC, Avelacom, said: “I’m happy to join Avelacom’s global team and be part of its unstoppable growth plans in APAC. The financial services industry is fast-paced and continually evolving and there’s a lot to do here. I’m delighted to be able to lead the firm’s expansion in the region and address our clients’ connectivity, IT infrastructure and data solutions plans for the future.”
