Infor has appointed Chema Aramburu as Executive Vice President and General Manager for Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). Aramburu will be responsible for Infor’s businesses across ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand, Greater China, Korea, India, and Japan.

Based in the company’s regional hub in Singapore, Aramburu is also tasked with driving customer success and satisfaction.

With more than 20 years of experience in IT and cloud operations, Aramburu’s top priority was to drive SaaS (software-as-a-service) uptake across the region. Prior to joining Infor, Aramburu held senior leadership positions in Oracle and SAP, where he played key roles in spearheading cloud adoption across APJ.

His most recent appointment was as Vice President of regional enterprise sales for Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud, APJ. Aramburu was also responsible for transforming SAP APAC’s small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) business through innovative go-to-market models and grew business revenues exponentially.

“Chema is a seasoned leader in the IT and cloud industry, with a proven track record in leading business transformations and building successful sales teams,” said Kevin Samuelson, Infor CEO.

“We are excited to have him on board to lead Asia Pacific, a region of tremendous opportunity and diversity.”

“I am excited to be leading a region that is seeing exponential growth as one of the key engines of the global economy, and where cloud adoption is accelerating rapidly across all sectors,” said Aramburu.
