"As a proven leader with rich experience and a deep understanding of the market, I am confident that Patel will add immense value to our customer and partner ecosystem in the region."

Patel was previously the Head of Personal Systems Category for Greater Asia, where he led the computing business that included hardware, services and solutions across Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia and Korea.
