Naito-san will continue to drive growth opportunities across Japan.

"Extreme has seen rapid growth across the APAC region over the past year, with major brands trusting us to deliver best-in-class networking solutions including Marriott Hotel Group Greater China and LG Electronics," says Joe Vitalone, Chief Revenue Officer, Extreme Networks.

"Jeff has been a force of growth for us, and I know he will continue to drive success in his new role overseeing the region.

"Freddy and Naito-san will build upon our team of strong, experienced sales leaders and will be an excellent support system for Jeff as Extreme continues to expand in the APAC market. I have confidence that we will quickly realise and even exceed our regional goals for growth as they step into their new roles."
