Saviynt, a leading provider of identity security solutions, has announced the appointment of Tim Wedande as Field Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ).

Based in Melbourne, Wedande will lead Saviynt’s regional technology strategy, support strategic customer engagements, and serve as a trusted advisor to enterprises undergoing complex identity security transformations. He will work closely with customers, partners, and internal teams to accelerate adoption of Saviynt’s Identity Cloud and drive measurable business outcomes across the APJ region.

Strengthening Enterprise Identity Security Across APJ

With more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, Wedande brings deep expertise in security advisory and enterprise digital transformation. He has a strong track record of helping organisations modernise identity investments and align cybersecurity frameworks with business growth.

Prior to joining Saviynt, Wedande served as a Partner at EY, where he worked with global organisations across regulated industries to design scalable and resilient identity capabilities.

Leadership Perspective on Regional Growth

“APJ is a dynamic and rapidly evolving market where organisations are prioritising identity as their core security control,” said Alex Lei, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), Saviynt. “Tim’s deep business consulting expertise and customer-first mindset will strengthen our presence in the region and help customers unlock the full value of identity security.”

The Asia Pacific identity and access management (IAM) market continues to expand rapidly, driven by cloud adoption, hybrid work models, regulatory compliance requirements, and increasing cybersecurity risks. Industry projections indicate that the APJ IAM market could more than double by 2030, underscoring the accelerating demand for advanced identity security solutions.

“Having worked closely with customers and teams across Saviynt, I’ve seen firsthand how central identity has become to business resilience and growth,” said Wedande. “As organisations across APJ accelerate digital and AI-led transformation, there is a clear opportunity to modernise identity as a strategic control plane—enabling stronger security, faster innovation, and measurable business value. Saviynt is well positioned to help enterprises navigate this complexity with clarity and confidence.”
