I am especially pleased to announce her promotion as the company\u2019s first female geo lead today on International Women\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Masters ascended the ranks to become the first female to lead a major region at Infor. In 2016, three years after being hired as VP of the ASEAN region, Masters was promoted to vice president, ASEAN and the Pacific, which includes Australia and New Zealand. During her tenure in this role, Infor\u2019s business across the region grew considerably, as Masters took advantage of new developments at Infor including Infor CloudSuite, Infor Birst Analytics, Infor OS, and Infor Coleman to create transformational deals for some of Asia-Pacific\u2019s largest organizations and companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to lead Asia-Pacific, a region that continues to be a growth engine for the global economy,\u201d said Masters. \u201cWe are confident that organisations in the region will be able to capture the full benefits and tremendous business advantages that Infor innovation and the cloud has to offer. On International Women\u2019s Day, I wish to take this moment to celebrate the achievements of women from all walks of life, and the knowledge that we have real choices.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infor, provider of industry-specific cloud applications, announced the promotion of Helen Masters to senior vice president and general manager, Asia-Pacific.
