Saviynt, a leading provider of identity security solutions, announced the appointment of Tim Wedande as Field Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region.
Based in Melbourne, Tim will lead regional technology strategy, support strategic customer engagements, and serve as a trusted advisor to enterprises navigating complex identity security transformations. He will work closely with customers, partners, and internal teams to accelerate adoption of Saviynt’s Identity Cloud and deliver measurable business outcomes across APJ.
With more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, Tim brings extensive expertise in security advisory and enterprise digital transformation. He has a strong track record of helping organisations modernise identity investments and align cybersecurity with business growth. In his most recent role as Partner at EY, Tim worked with global organisations across regulated industries to design scalable, resilient identity capabilities.
“APJ is a dynamic and rapidly evolving market where organisations are prioritising identity as their core security control,” said Alex Lei, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), Saviynt. “Tim’s deep business consulting expertise and customer-first mindset will strengthen our presence in the region and help customers unlock the full value of identity security.”
The Asia Pacific identity and access management market continues to expand rapidly, with regional demand projected to grow significantly over the next decade as organisations modernise security, support hybrid work environments, and adopt cloud-first strategies. Industry research shows the APJ IAM market could more than double in size by 2030, with strong growth driven by digital transformation, compliance requirements, and rising cybersecurity risks.
“Having worked closely with customers and teams across Saviynt, I’ve seen firsthand how central identity has become to business resilience and growth,” said Tim Wedande, Field CTO for Asia Pacific and Japan. “As organisations across APJ accelerate digital and AI-led transformation, there is a clear opportunity to modernise identity as a strategic control plane, enabling stronger security, faster innovation, and measurable business value. Saviynt is well positioned to help enterprises navigate this complexity with clarity and confidence.”
