"The appointment of Sebastian Krüger as vice president, Asia Pacific, underlines our long-term growth strategy," said Paessler CEO Helmut Binder.

"Paessler continues to invest in opportunities that help the additional growth in the region and further strengthen our footprint in Asia Pacific."

Krüger has been with Paessler for more than eight years, most recently working as regional manager, Americas.

He previously worked in sales roles at computer & confidence and Infinigate.

Krüger will relocate from Germany to Kuala Lumpur once international borders reopen.

"To achieve our ambitious growth targets in this high potential region, we are in the process of strengthening a channel-centric focus for APAC," he said.

"Our aim is to grow the number of channel partners significantly, service our existing channel partners well, and focus on close relationships and support of our partner community."
