VP & GM APAC

An exceptional opportunity to lead the APAC region for a dynamic, high-performance global instrumentation & technology company that protects water quality around the world.

This will suit a regional VP/GM (from a sales or services background in large, complex B2B MNC organizations), who has owned the P&L, led multiple local country GMs across APAC, and has consistently accelerated growth within large, geographically diverse winning teams.

The Opportunity

Motivated by the highest possible stakes of climate change and global health, at Hach (www.hach.com), a Veralto company, we’re working together within a rapidly digitizing industry to find innovative technologies that guarantee the safety of our water and our environment.

Based in either Malaysia, Singapore, or Thailand, with 50%-60% travel across APAC, the VP & GM APAC will be Hach's most senior leader within the region and hold revenue responsibility for ~USD$162M, with significant future growth potential.

The VP & GM APAC will develop and execute transformative strategies, channel and customer plans that leverage Hach’s strong business and technology foundation. The jobholder will be accountable for providing inspirational leadership to their large team of ~400 associates (multiple country GMs, sales, services, and marketing), aggressively growing sales of the entire range of Hach solutions, delivering exceptional services to the customer-installed base, and enhancing profitability and market share using allotted resources.

To accomplish these goals, it will be critical for the jobholder to build a world class, ‘one-team approach’ that galvanizes the various countries and cultures, embraces the Veralto Enterprise System (VES) and is powered by Diversity, Inclusion and Integrity. This includes identifying opportunities to “raise the bar” by instilling a value-selling vision as a key part of the company’s goals for success.

The VP & GM of APAC will be equipped and prepared to provide deeper insights and best practices to complement their senior direct reports. In addition, they will make a personal investment in fostering internal relationships across a global matrix structure, to nurture a high performance culture based on respect, teamwork, communication, and results.
