SAP has named IT veteran Andreas Diantoro as managing director for PT SAP Indonesia, building on his more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry, most recently as president director of Microsoft Indonesia, where he led business operations and go-to-market activities.
In his new role, Diantoro will be responsible for leading the company and driving business growth and operations for Indonesia, building on SAP’s 20 year track record of success in the country. He will report directly to Claus Andresen, president and managing director, SAP Southeast Asia and replaces Megawaty Khie, now vice president, SAP SuccessFactors, Southeast Asia.
Prior to joining Microsoft Indonesia in 2012, Diantoro held several managing director roles at Dell, where he led the enterprise, SMB and public sectors businesses for the South Asia and Developing Markets as well as the consumer segment for ASEAN. Previous to Dell, he held multiple positions including managing director during his 11 years at HP Indonesia.
Commenting on the appointment, Andresen said: “As we kick off our business in 2018, I am optimistic of our growth prospect and am confident that Andreas will be able to deliver accelerated growth for our business, and drive value for our customers in Indonesia.”
Diantoro applauds the Indonesian government’s commitment to boosting the country’s digital economy with its specific focus on SMEs as the backbone of the nation’s digital future.
“SAP has the strength and market credibility to help organisations of any size and segment, from the local SMEs to regional conglomerates, to realise the success of their digital vision,” he said, adding: “I am excited to be part of the company that will help write the next chapter of Indonesia’s digital future.”
