Seasoned partner executive joins the technology unicorn to grow partner business across APAC; Auth0 also announces new partner in Korea

**SINGAPORE, 30 April 2020:** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, has committed to growing its partner sales across Asia Pacific through the appointment of channel veteran [Jason Teo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonteocj/?originalSubdomain=sg) as the company’s first partner chief in the region.

In this new role as APAC Head of Partnerships and Alliances, Teo’s mandate is two-fold: to build and grow the partner ecosystem in the region; and to execute a partner strategy that will diversify sales and accelerate growth.

Teo has extensive experience helping technology companies expand across Asia and plans to draw upon his vast network and established relationships with partners and system integrators to help support Auth0’s ambitious growth plans in Asia Pacific.

Regional Director for Auth0 in Asia Pacific, Richard Marr, welcomed Teo as an integral part of the company’s growth strategy. “Our differentiated identity platform is seeing adoption in all market sectors and geographies; we’ve experienced consistently high growth across Asia Pacific and invested strongly in the region with three offices and a team spanning South East Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and India,” said Marr. 

“Building partnerships in APAC is the next important step for Auth0 as we continue to expand locally, and we’re very pleased to have Jason at the helm,” added Marr.

As part of Auth0’s expansion in the region, it has partnered with digital transformation specialist, [OSC Korea](http://www.osckorea.com/). “We are experts in helping our customers to accelerate the digital transformation experience by providing Open Source, microservices architecture, DevOps CI/CD consulting and deployment,” said Jay Kim, CEO at OSC Korea. “To best support our customers, we are working with Auth0 as the identity and authentication solution that can be easily integrated and improve business performance.”

Teo has held leadership positions in various companies including Amazon Web Services, where he was the first Head of Channels and Alliances for ASEAN, launching and establishing its partner ecosystem across the region. His career also includes building the Cloud Business Unit for IBM in Singapore and being the first person on the ground for BlackBerry in Singapore, managing their telco partners across Asia Pacific.

According to Teo, finding the right partners is vital to help Auth0’s customers adopt a cloud-native solution for identity management. He joined the U.S.-based unicorn as he believes Auth0 is creating meaningful technology that can be applied across industries and to organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.

“I am thrilled to be part of such a high-growth company and lead the effort around its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) expansion in APAC. It takes a whole ecosystem to get our customers up and running, which is why it’s so important we have the interests of all our stakeholders at heart to provide the best possible service,” said Teo.

“We are working with our major global partner network while actively cultivating new local partner relationships across the region, ensuring our offerings are localized and relevant to the needs of each market,” Teo added. 

Auth0 has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) [Partner Network](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-joins-the-aws-partner-network-global-startup-program/) (APN) Global Startup Program and recently announced global partnerships with [Cognizant](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-expands-global-partner-network-with-cognizant/) and [Globant](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-partner-program-accelerates-global-growth/) as it expands its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) in APAC and around the world.

Enterprise customers wins, like NTUC Enterprise Co-Operative Limited, drive local demand

**BELLEVUE, Wash. and SINGAPORE – December 3, 2019** – The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced continued global growth with the opening of a new office in Singapore. This signals a milestone in Auth0’s evolution with the addition of the company’s sixth physical office, and third in Asia-Pacific, with current offices in Tokyo and Sydney. 

Auth0 Singapore will be an operations hub for growth primarily in Southeast Asia. Singapore, specifically, has quickly become a hotbed of opportunity for the company, thanks to significant enterprise wins in the past year. [NTUC Enterprise Co-Operative Limited](https://ntucsocialenterprises.sg/), which operates the country's largest supermarket chain, NTUC FairPrice, is one of the most recent customers Auth0 has signed on.

NTUC Enterprise selected Auth0 to enhance the overall experience for the hundreds of thousands of consumers who rely on their services every day. Part of their digital transformation efforts will involve re-platforming NTUC FairPrice as well as aligning multiple brands within NTUC's social enterprise into one platform for a completely holistic user experience.

"Our biggest priority is our customers and ensuring they have a positive experience anytime they interact with our brand online," said Winson Lim, VP, Core Product Development, NTUC Enterprise. "With our ambitious timeframe, we didn't want to waste valuable developers' time on managing multiple identity platforms. Auth0 will get us up and running quickly and help us get closer to our business goals."

Singapore has created a strong technology infrastructure that has primed it well for digital transformation initiatives. According to a recent survey by the [Economist Intelligence Unit,](http://connectedfuture.economist.com/article/asian-digital-transformation-index-2018/) Singapore ranks as the top country in the Asian Digital Transformation Index, based on government policies in support of infrastructure development, business use of technology, and entrepreneurship.

"We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with digital innovators in Singapore, like NTUC Enterprise, as well as other leading companies throughout Southeast Asia," said Richard Marr, APAC General Manager, Auth0. "Our new office will enable us to better service our existing customers in the region, and we look forward to growing our team here to support this expansion."

Earlier this year, Auth0 announced [225 percent year-over-year growth](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-doubles-revenue-customers-in-apac-australia-new-zealand/) in Australia and New Zealand, along with new customer acquisitions such as ME Bank, SkyTV, and Foodstuffs, marking the company's continued regional expansion. The addition of the Singapore office marks overall growth in Asia-Pacific as a whole.
