He also will provide pre-sales and post-sales technical assistance and guidance to customers and Versasec partners in the region. Additionally, his work will include supporting the Versasec professional services team with integration services and training.Prior to joining Versasec, Mr. Lau served in a variety of technical roles in the APAC region.
