NEC Asia Pacific, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC, announced that Toshiya Matsuki has been appointed as the new CEO. Matsuki replaces Kiyofumi Kusaka, who has been leading NEC Asia Pacific, the regional headquarters for NEC since June 2008. Kusaka will be moving to China to assume position as the President of NEC China.
Matsuki has over 30 years of overseas business experience since he joined NEC of Japan in 1983 and has held both executive and sales management positions during his career. His ample work experience spans from serving at the Jakarta Representative Office as Chief Representative for two years and as NEC Europe's Deputy GM for four years. Matsuki later returned to NEC to assume position as the Deputy GM of Americas and EMEA Sales Division in 2010 and became the VP of the International Sales and Operations Business Unit in 2011. Prior to his appointment as the new CEO of NEC Asia Pacific, he was the Associate Senior VP of NEC since early April 2013.
"I am looking forward to this challenging position where we will continue to work closely with our NEC country affiliates in the Asia Pacific region to cultivate and grow the NEC brand by bringing value, innovation and efficiency to our stakeholders,” said Matsuki.
