Former EMC and Nokia APAC Channels Director Joins SuccessFactors as Director of APAC Channels and Alliances

SINGAPORE -- Today, SuccessFactors, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFSF) announced that Ben Corser has joined the SuccessFactors APAC team to take responsibility for activities with Asia Pacific channels and alliances partners. Corser will participate in the August 16-17 SuccessConnect Gold Coast event and the 20th Annual Inform Conference on August 18-19, both of which will take place in Gold Coast, Australia to serve SuccessFactors customers, partners and industry leaders in the Asia Pacific region.

Corser brings to SuccessFactors more than two decades of experience in Asia Pacific Alliances and Partner management, with leading high tech IT organisations. Most recently, Corser was senior director of channel sales and operations for Asia Pacific at RSA/EMC where he achieved 12 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth and helped grow revenues from $23 million to $100 million. Before this, he was director of enterprise business channel sales for Asia Pacific at Nokia and has also spent time at Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson.

Corser is originally from Australia, now based in Singapore and has an MBA, with honors, from the University of Helsinki, as well as a degree in business from the University of Queensland.

"As Business Execution continues to be adopted rapidly across Asia Pacific, we needed the ability to deliver value back to organizations via a world class partner program," stated Murray Sargant, vice president of Asia Pacific, SuccessFactors. "Ben's experience with Asia Pacific Partners will allow us to provide better support to our existing partner ecosystem while also being a catalyst to bring on new partners as we further consolidate our business in the Asia Pacific region. From a customer perspective Ben will drive greater geographic coverage and an ability to address local requirements faster. That's a critical part of our plans as we continue to invest in the region and more specifically our partner ecosystem."

"With APAC SuccessConnect around the corner at the Gold Coast in mid-August, Corser has already recruited key partners to attend," commented Sargant.
