Delinea has appointed Barry Chen as Regional Sales Director, ASEAN, strengthening its regional sales leadership as the identity security company continues to expand its presence across Asia Pacific.

Barry will lead Delinea's go-to-market strategy across Southeast Asia, with responsibility for expanding customer relationships, supporting regional growth, and aligning the company's offerings with the distinct business, regulatory, and security requirements of ASEAN markets.

His appointment forms part of Delinea's broader expansion of its APAC leadership structure across sales, channel, and people functions.

Leading Delinea's ASEAN Go-to-Market Strategy

As Regional Sales Director, ASEAN, Barry will focus on strengthening Delinea's engagement with customers across Southeast Asia and supporting the company's commercial growth in the region.

His remit includes developing customer relationships and ensuring Delinea's identity security and privileged access management offerings are aligned with the needs of organisations operating across diverse ASEAN markets.

The role also places greater sales leadership closer to customers, enabling Delinea to respond more directly to local market conditions and evolving security requirements.

Expanding Regional Leadership

Barry's appointment comes as Delinea expands its APAC leadership team with dedicated senior roles across key business functions.

The company is strengthening its presence across sales, channel, and people operations to create a more locally focused structure, giving regional leaders greater responsibility for customer engagement, partner relationships, and organisational development.

For ASEAN, this approach allows Delinea to tailor its go-to-market strategy to the different business environments and regulatory considerations across Southeast Asia.

Building for Long-Term APAC Growth

Cynthia Lee, Vice President, APJ at Delinea, has described APAC as a significant growth opportunity and a strategic priority for the company.

The expanded leadership structure is intended to strengthen local expertise, customer proximity, and the partner ecosystem as Delinea continues investing in the region.

Alongside its sales and channel leadership expansion, Delinea has also established its first dedicated HR Manager role in APAC, reflecting a broader focus on talent, employee development, and regional organisational capabilities.

Supporting Identity Security Adoption Across ASEAN

ASEAN organisations face increasingly complex identity and access requirements as cloud adoption, distributed workforces, and digital infrastructure continue to evolve.

Barry's focus on aligning Delinea's offerings with local business and security requirements positions the ASEAN sales organisation to engage more closely with customers navigating these challenges.

The strategy also supports Delinea's broader ambitions in privileged access management and identity security, including capabilities expanded through its acquisition of StrongDM.
