Acer appoints Gaba Cheng as Product management & supply chain general manager

Product management and supply chain general manager Gaba Cheng has been promoted to managing director and will take over from Darren Simmons to head the Acer Oceanic region later this month.

"On behalf of myself and the Acer team here in Australia and New Zealand, I would like to thank Darren for the significant impact he has made in the region during his tenor as managing director," Cheng says.

"I look forward to working with the team to build on the platform that Darren has built and put in place over the past eight years," he adds.

"We are delighted to announce Gaba Cheng as the new Managing Director Oceanic Region. Over the past 15 years, he has held various senior roles within the Acer Oceanic team, with increasing scale and complexity. He has worked closely with Darren during this time to successfully launch a number of innovative products to the local market," Acer Pan Asia Pacific regional operations president Andrew Hou says.

"Under Darren's leadership, the Acer Oceanic region has seen consistent top line growth, profit growth and market share growth across commercial, consumer and gaming. These are tremendous achievements, and we thank Darren for his contribution to the success of the business and wish him the best of luck in his next endeavour."
