Singapore, July 2, 2020 - ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, has named Parvinder Walia as President of Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) to oversee the continued expansion and development of the business in the region. Parvinder will be
responsible for driving ESET’s go-to-market strategy and accelerating business expansion in the region. He succeeds
Lukas Raksa, Chief Operating Officer for Asia Pacific (APAC).
Parvinder is a seasoned sales and marketing leader and has held several roles at ESET over the past decade. This new

Parvinder. “Helping our partners and customers navigate through the uncertainty is the first priority for me.”
Parvinder joined ESET as Channel Marketing Manager for APAC in April 2009 and was based in Sydney, Australia. He moved
