Colin Lillywhite (Jitterbit)
Application programming interface (API) specialist Jitterbit has named Colin Lillywhite as its new Asia Pacific (APAC) managing director, succeeding Andrew Henderson who has moved to an advisor post.
Reporting to Jitterbit CEO George Gallegos, Lillywhite will be responsible for leading the company’s go-to-market strategy and operations in the region.
“The rise in adoption of cloud solutions combined with the need to digitally transform is creating an increased demand for integration platforms in APAC. We see the region as a major play for Jitterbit,” said Gallegos. “Colin has the experience needed to ensure we capitalise on the market opportunity and deliver for our customers and partners.”
