Akamai has announced the appointment of Fiona Zhang as Regional Vice President, Channel Sales and Programmes for Asia Pacific and Japan, reinforcing its commitment to a channel-first growth strategy and the critical role partners play in scaling its cloud and security business across the region.
In her new role, Fiona will lead Akamai’s channel strategy and partner ecosystem across Asia Pacific and Japan, focusing on enabling partners to deliver greater value to customers and supporting enterprises as they navigate increasingly complex digital and security environments.
“At Akamai, partners already play a central role in how we go to market – two-thirds of our customers in the region are served through partners and 90% of new customers are onboarded through the channel. That momentum continues to grow. Across APJ, our partners are doing far more than reselling; they are building practices, advancing AI adoption and helping enterprises navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape. My focus is on making Akamai the platform our partners want to build their business around,” said Fiona Zhang, Regional Vice President, Channel Sales and Programmes, Asia Pacific and Japan, Akamai.
Sean Li, Vice President and Managing Director of Greater China, Akamai, said: “Our channel ecosystem is fundamental to Akamai’s growth strategy. Fiona’s leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our partner network and enabling our partners to capture these opportunities across the region.”
