Sanjay Deshmukh appointed Head of End User Computing Business for VMware APJ

VMware announced Sanjay Deshmukh will join the company as Head of End User Computing Business, Asia Pacific Japan.

He will join VMware from Citrix Systems India, where he was Area Vice President, Indian Subcontinent for more than four years.

The IT veteran will be responsible for VMware's end-user computing (EUC) business throughout markets in the company's Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region.

VMware's EUC strategy was reinforced earlier this month when the company launched the industry's most comprehensive desktop solution. VMware Horizon 6 enables customers to transform their applications and desktops for the mobile cloud era - extending access to employees on any device, anywhere, simply, securely and cost-effectively. In late February, VMware acquired AirWatch, a leader in enterprise mobile management and security solutions covering laptops, peripherals and wearables.

Before joining Citrix, he served SAP India as Vice President, Business User and Platform Group, after working as Country Manager for Business Objects Software India. During his 21-year career, he has built successful businesses in the areas of mobility, virtualization and analytics.
