Global Audit and Risk Management Software Firm ACL Boosts Presence in Asia Pacific With Key Appointment
SINGAPORE, November 19, 2014 – ACL, the company that is transforming audit and risk, today announced the appointment of Eric Lim as Managing Director, Asia Pacific. Lim will be based in Singapore as part of ACL’s move to develop a long-term growth acceleration investment plan in strategic geographies across Asia.
Lim has built a career spanning 25 years in the Information Technology sector and was the Head of Solutions and Services Sales (Asia Pacific and Middle East) at Motorola Solutions prior to joining ACL. He has previously held senior positions in product management, software development, sales, and professional services and worked with major brands, including IBM where he worked for eight years.
He joins ACL with an immediate focus on driving aggressive and sustainable growth across the ASEAN region, and guiding ACL’s investment in sales and consulting services talent across the region. He will also work closely with ACL’s senior leadership team to develop a longer-term growth acceleration investment strategy across Asia.
“We are thrilled to have Eric on board to support our long-term regional endeavours. His considerable experience in the Information Technology industry together with his deep understanding of the Asia Pacific market will give ACL the push to make the most of the exciting opportunities in the region,” says Ross Paul, Vice President of Global Operations at ACL.
Broad trends among businesses and governments across the region are accelerating growth and adoption of new technologies like the cloud, software as a service, and mobile computing. Alongside this increase comes the demand for a new breed of audit and risk professionals who can translate increasingly vast volumes of organizational data and transactions into insight and actions that drive improved risk management and performance.
“From a risk management perspective, we are seeing strong signs of rising demand for audit, governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) software. This combination of factors and trends contributes to ACL’s strong belief in the growth potential for our business across Asia and the investments we are making to realize this,” Lim states. “We are investing heavily in marketing across the region, and attracting additional sales and consulting talent across multiple geographies in Asia with a focus on multiplying the size of our business across Asia in the next three years.”
