Cloud networking solutions provider Zyxel Networks has announced the appointment of Ken Tsai as the company’s new president.

Across a 19-year stint at the business, Tsai has previously served in various key positions across various strategic operations and product management units, including the firm’s Gateway business unit, management center, corporate HR service division, and business supporting center.

The seasoned veteran will now leverage his expertise in brand management, market development, and customer experience to lead cross-departmental and cross-cultural teams as the company looks to drive further growth.

Zyxel said the appointment will “lay a solid foundation” for the company’s future development, with Tsai’s leadership expected to bring “forward-thinking strategies and market insights” that will fuel its momentum globally.

“With a strong background in market strategy and innovation, Ken is set to drive SMB digital transformation and lead Zyxel Networks into a new era of growth,” the firm said in a LinkedIn post.

“Under his leadership, we’ll continue empowering businesses with secure, AI-powered cloud networking solutions, strengthening our global position with Nebula cloud management and network security.”

Zyxel driving digital transformation success

Zyxel Networks said it expects Tsai’s extensive cross-functional collaboration experience to build on its success so far and facilitate deeper integration within the company, as well as enhance its ability to support SMBs and seize new market opportunities.

"Zyxel Networks has been committed to delivering exceptional networking solutions for SMBs since day one,” Tsai commented.
