Vectra AI has appointed Chua Hock Leng as Vice President and General Manager for Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ). In this role, Hock Leng will spearhead Vectra AI’s growth strategy across the region, focusing on deepening customer relationships, expanding the partner ecosystem, and scaling go-to-market operations to meet rising demand for advanced threat detection in hybrid and cloud environments.
With more than two decades of leadership across enterprise security, cloud infrastructure, and digital transformation, Hock Leng brings deep regional expertise and a track record of building high-performing teams. His previous leadership roles at EMC, RSA, and Pure Storage have equipped him to navigate the complexity of APJ’s diverse markets and to deliver value in highly regulated industries.
“What drew me to Vectra AI was the opportunity to help shape the future of cybersecurity in a time when traditional approaches are no longer enough,” said Hock Leng. “As organisations across APJ embrace digital transformation, securing complex environments – especially against identity-based and lateral movement attacks – is more critical than ever. Vectra’s AI-driven platform is purpose-built for this challenge, helping security teams detect and respond to real threats faster and with greater precision.”
Hock Leng sees significant opportunity in key sectors such as financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and government – industries that are navigating regulatory requirements while also facing increasing cyber threats. He will prioritise building regional partner momentum, particularly with hyperscalers and MSSPs, to ensure customers benefit from a connected ecosystem of security innovation and operational excellence.
“Hock Leng is a proven leader who understands both the strategic needs of enterprise customers and the technical dynamics of cybersecurity,” said David Kluzak, Chief Commercial Officer, Vectra AI. “His deep knowledge of the region and commitment to customer success make him the ideal leader to drive our next chapter of growth across APJ.”
Under Hock Leng’s leadership, Vectra will also showcase its latest innovation in generative AI—designed to accelerate threat detection and reduce operational noise—through customer engagements, partner enablement, and executive briefings across the region.
“As a team, we’re focused on being more than just a technology vendor,” added Hock Leng. “We aim to be a strategic ally to our customers—supporting them through complexity with clarity, speed, and trust.”
