He takes over the position from company founder Lap Man with immediate effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The appointment was made by 21Vianet Group (NASDAQ: VNET), mother company of DYXnet Group and one of China\u2019s leading carriers and cloud-neutral Internet data centre service providers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wing is also President of DYXnet Group\u2019s sister company, Shanghai Blue Cloud Technologies Co Ltd (Blue Cloud), another of 21Vianet Group\u2019s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Both organisations are wholly-owned subsidiaries of 21Vianet Group.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The move is designed to facilitate greater collaboration between DYXnet Group and Blue Cloud, while exploring and capitalising on synergies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wing said: \u201cI am honoured to succeed Lap Man as CEO of DYXnet Group. He is a serial entrepreneur and respected leader, who has developed DYXnet Group into a mature, respected and well-structured business. I am now looking forward to working with DYXnet\u2019s 500-strong team to serve our enterprise clients to best effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After joining 21Vianet Group in 2013, Wing drew on his considerable experience with Microsoft, his former employer, to provide Blue Cloud\u2019s commercial and consumer customers in mainland China with Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and Power BI services. He did this by collaborating with the Microsoft Product Group and China S&amp;M team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Blue Cloud now delivers a comprehensive, international cloud computing platform \u2013 the first commercial model of its kind in China \u2013 that offers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wing said: \u201cDYXnet celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, so we will reaffirm our commitment to embracing change, welcoming new challenges and exploring every opportunity \u2013 all in the best interests of the company and its many customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lap Man has led the Group for the last 19 years as Founder and CEO, and will continue to serve DYXnet Group as adviser. In 2017, he became one of the founders of Beyond Ventures, a Hong Kong-based venture capital fund that seeks to\u00a0revitalise\u00a0the local\u00a0innovation ecosystem and help start-ups get off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a message to staff, Lap Man wrote: \u201cWe have written history by driving DYXnet to achieve double-digit growth over the last seven years, even in the face of\u00a0formidable market challenges.\u00a0DYXnet has developed a sophisticated system based on a very solid foundation. Wing is an enterprise-tech veteran, holding more than 20 years\u2019 experience with Microsoft\u00a0in high-profile roles such as General Manager of Customer Services (CSS) &amp; Support for the Asia Pacific and Greater China Region, as well as Asia CIO, Greater China Financial Controller and other S&amp;M roles. He was also responsible for supporting the Asia Pacific, Greater China, America and EMEA regions. I believe he will establish best-in-class practices that will help the company build on its reputation for employee, operational and customer service excellence, while achieving\u00a0sustainable growth into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"># # #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>21Vianet Group names Wing-Dar Ker as DYXnet Group\u2019s new CEO - DYXnet (Hong Kong)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dyxnet.com\/hk\/news\/21vianet-group-names-wing-dar-ker-as-dyxnet-groups-new-ceo-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"21Vianet Group names Wing-Dar Ker as DYXnet Group\u2019s new CEO - DYXnet (Hong Kong)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Enterprise-tech veteran welcomes new challenges and vows to pursue every growth opportunity &nbsp;
