Dell Technologies announced that John Robottom (ジョン・ロボトム) had been appointed representative director and president of its Japan subsidiary, effective 17 August. Robottom has more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry and most recently served as representative director and president of AMD Japan.
Robottom previously served as representative director and president of Lenovo Enterprise Solutions Japan and as a managing executive officer at Microsoft Japan. He also has more than 7 years of experience leading Dell Japan’s services sales organization. Dell said the appointment would support execution of its growth strategy in the Japanese market, the creation of customer value and organizational transformation.
Under the new structure, the company plans to drive growth in its Japan business, focusing on AI infrastructure, AI Factory, AI workstations and cyber resilience solutions. Robottom will report to Richard McLoughlin (リチャード・マクロックリン), president for APJC, and is expected to pursue business growth in Japan and strengthen collaboration with partners.
Following the change from Grainger Wallace (グレンジャー・ウォリス) to Robottom, Wallace, who led growth in the Japan business after becoming president, will remain with Dell and oversee strategic initiatives. He is also expected to support a smooth transition.
