BEIJING, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Experienced Executive to Head Sales and Operations Across Region
Ventyx(R), the world's largest private software, data and advisory services provider to the global energy
and utility industry, today announced that Scot Spear has been named as Senior Vice President Asia-Pacific.
In this new role, Spear will head the company's efforts to meet the region's increasing demand for IT
solutions that help utilities meet 2010 business challenges, such as expanding nuclear generation, increasing
infrastructure reliability, enabling the Smart Grid and reducing carbon emissions.
"Scot has served as regional SVP in the past during our successful entry into global markets like Europe,
Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as well as into countries such as France,"
Steve Carpenter. "We are following this model once again as we build out our presence in the strategically
important Asia-Pacific region, especially in key markets like China and Japan."
Spear has served in numerous leadership roles during his six-year tenure at Ventyx. During that time he
has led the company's sales and marketing efforts in the U.S., EMEA and in other international markets.
Spear's more than 20 years in the business software industry include stints at leading companies such as J.D.
Edwards and IBM. Before IBM, he served two full tours of duty as a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps.
"It is an exciting time to target the Asia-Pacific market, which really has a global influence in the energy
arena as a whole," said Spear. "Countries like China and Japan are playing leadership roles in areas such as
nuclear and climate change. And, utilities across the region are increasingly demanding solutions to support
the dramatic growth of the asset-intensive infrastructure across the utility spectrum, including electricity, gas,
water and telecommunications. Ventyx offers the industry's most comprehensive solution suite to meet this
demand, and I'm extremely proud and excited to lead our efforts in this region."
