In this new role, Wee will be responsible for leading local go-to-market operations for Google Cloud and Google Workspace, and collaborating with teams across the tech giant to help companies digitally transform their business.

Having had leadership roles at Zoom and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Wee brings extensive experience in advising and working with C-level decision-makers across financial services, retail, consumer packaged goods, telecommunications, healthcare, high tech, energy, and the public sector.

He served as the head of business enterprise for Malaysia AWS for over six years, and was AWS’ first hire to develop its enterprise business in Malaysia.

Cumulatively, Wee has a 20 year-long career in technology leadership, having served as country director of SAP’s business in Malaysia and Singapore previously.

Additionally, he holds an undergraduate degree in accounting from Western Sydney University in Australia.

“Driven by the government’s Malaysia Madani vision and nationwide blueprint to transform Malaysia into a cloud-first nation, Malaysia’s digital economy is on track to be worth close to US$35 billion (RM155.41 billion) by 2025,” said Megawaty Khie, regional director of Google Cloud in Indonesia and Malaysia.

“We have been collaborating increasingly with organisations of all sizes – from large enterprises like Axiata Group and Media Prima to digital natives like Bungkusit – to help them seize new growth opportunities in the digital economy,” she said.

Wee expressed his excitement in joining Google Cloud and is eager to support the digital transformation of Malaysian organisations.

“I look forward to building on our success with local public sector agencies, enterprises, and startups, as we continue working together to foster a dynamic, highly skilled, and inclusive digital society, and accelerate the delivery of made-in-Malaysia products and digital applications to serve domestic and international markets,” he said.
