Akkasha Sultan has been appointed senior vice president and general manager for Asia Pacific and Japan at Ping Identity.

Most recently, he has held leadership roles across Salesforce and Tableau, including VP of Agentforce & Data Cloud in ANZ, area VP for key ASEAN markets, and GM for Tableau’s Analytics and AI business.

Earlier, he held senior leadership roles at Microsoft and Oracle, helping build and scale businesses across Asia Pacific.
