Since July 2021, Yong has led AVEVA’s global sales effort to help customers aiming to underpin their digital transformation through the alignment of their people and process. AVEVA Unified Operations Center achieves this by unifying all relevant systems and processes and visualizes them through a single pane of glass.

Born in Indonesia and raised in Singapore, Yong was later naturalized in the USA where he graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, specializing in Robotics and Automation. Beginning his career in Ann Arbor, Michigan as a Software Engineer, Yong later migrated to Australia where he co-founded a global, IT consulting firm servicing the finance and government sectors. Having sold that business, Yong then returned to his roots in automation where he led Schneider Electric’s Global Business Development in mining-related software solutions for 12 years before joining OSIsoft in 2018 as a Regional Manager for the Pacific market.
