NetApp Malaysia has appointed Moti Uttam as its Country Manager, strengthening the company’s push to support organisations building data foundations for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation.
The appointment comes as Malaysia accelerates efforts to become an AI-driven economy, with businesses increasing investments in data infrastructure to boost productivity and innovation.
In his new role, Moti will oversee NetApp’s operations in Malaysia, focusing on expanding customer and partner engagement, driving business growth, and increasing adoption of the company’s data management and AI solutions across key industries.
“I am honoured to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Malaysia. The country’s bold ambitions are driving momentum towards an AI-driven economy, and data sits at the core of that transformation,” he said.
He added that he plans to work closely with customers and partners to help Malaysian enterprises build intelligent data infrastructure, enabling them to deploy AI securely and at scale.
Moti brings more than 25 years of experience in the technology sector, having previously held leadership roles at Hitachi Vantara and Dell EMC. He was most recently Chief Technology and Operations Officer at Tao Bin Malaysia, where he helped develop a cloud-based robotic retail platform powered by AI and IoT.
NetApp Senior Director for ASEAN Angeline Lim said the appointment comes as Malaysia continues to advance its digital economy and expand national AI capabilities. She noted that Moti’s local market expertise and industry experience will help strengthen NetApp’s role in supporting organisations as they build data-driven capabilities aligned with national priorities.
