SINGAPORE Telecommunications (Singtel) announced on Monday that Eric Harmon has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Trustwave.
This comes as Art Wong steps down as CEO of Singtel’s global cybersecurity division, after leading Trustwave for around three years.
Harmon will report to Stuart Harvey, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of Trustwave.
He most recently served as an advisor to SecureTrust, a division of Trustwave.
Prior to that, he was executive vice president of operations at DXC Technology, a New York-listed end-to-end IT services company, where he was responsible for its $ 25 billion portfolio of offerings. This included the bid strategy, development, sales, delivery, and overall financial performance.
Additionally, he oversaw DXC’s main technology office, performance management functions, and global solutions.
He held a similar position at HP Enterprise Services, which he joined in 2013. Prior to that, Mr. Harmon was a senior partner at management consulting firm McKinsey, holding leadership positions in technology and enterprise sales practices.
In a press release Monday, Harvey said Harmon was a perfect fit for the Trustwave CEO role, given his extensive experience in the enterprise solutions space, as well as the transformation and recovery of SecureTrust over the past year.
Trustwave employs around 2,000 cybersecurity professionals in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. He has formed strategic alliances with other cybersecurity providers such as FireEye, Akamai Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, and Check Point Software Technologies.
Separately, Optus Mobile, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singtel, said on Monday that it is looking to acquire Amaysim Australia’s mobile services business for about A $ 250 million (Singapore $ 239.7 million) in cash.
Shares of the Singaporean telecommunications company fell 0.01 Singaporean dollars or 0.5 percent to trade at 2.02 Singaporean dollars as of 11:24 am on Monday.
