Zscaler, Inc., the leading cloud security provider, is focusing on boosting growth and innovation in the Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) region. This initiative includes the appointment of Andreas Hartl as the Senior Vice President for APJ. Andreas joins Zscaler’s robust leadership team, reinforcing the company’s commitment to accelerating growth in the region.
The rise of emerging technologies like Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has raised concerns among APJ enterprises. A notable 62 percent view Generative AI tools as more of a threat than an opportunity. Despite this, a significant majority (97 percent) permit the use of these tools. As organizations weigh the cyber risks against the benefits of adopting such technologies, implementing a zero-trust strategy becomes crucial to ensure the highest level of security for IT infrastructures.
Andreas’s appointment aims to fortify the APJ leadership team further, ensuring Zscaler’s customers can smoothly navigate their zero-trust journeys.
Andreas Hartl, a visionary leader and proponent of digital transformation, joins Zscaler as the business leader for the Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) region. In this role, Andreas will oversee people growth, business strategy, and investments in the region.
Before joining Zscaler, Andreas held key leadership roles at Aveva, IBM, and Microsoft. He was instrumental in building and managing high-performing teams across multiple regions, resulting in significant revenue growth and market penetration. With nearly three decades of experience in the IT industry, Andreas is recognized for his strategic vision, outstanding leadership skills, and ability to cultivate strong relationships with clients and partners.
Andreas Hartl, Senior Vice President for APJ, Zscaler, shared, “I am thrilled about the opportunity to join Zscaler and immerse in its strong culture of innovation and unwavering customer dedication. As more organizations continue to double down on zero trust architecture, there is great potential to drive purposeful change. I am looking forward to collaborating closely with the exceptional team to further propel Zscaler’s vision to empower organizations in APJ to realize the full potential of the cloud and mobility through zero trust.”
