The business will cover unified communications, contact center, video and networking solutions as a service.
Teske, who was most recently managing director for the ASEAN business at Avaya, will leverage Avaya’s global and APAC experience in deploying cloud-based solutions.
Lee Chong-Win is the new managing director, ASEAN for Avaya and will be responsible for continuing to drive growth. Lee will focus on the core countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam while growing Avaya’s business and presence in Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.
