Saviynt appoints Clinton Mottram to APJ security role. Fri, 9th Oct 2026 (Today) Saviynt has appointed Clinton Mottram as Head of Application Identity Security for Asia Pacific and Japan. He will be based in Singapore. Mottram will lead the company's application identity security efforts across the region, working with customers and partners on application access governance. His remit includes helping organisations manage access, risk and compliance across business-critical applications as they modernise their technology environments and adopt artificial intelligence tools. The appointment expands Saviynt's senior leadership coverage in a region where companies are managing more complex application estates and tighter regulatory demands. It also comes as the business deepens its work with the SAP ecosystem following its availability in the SAP Marketplace. Mottram joins with more than 25 years of IT experience spanning sales, consulting and strategic partnerships. Most recently, he was an Enterprise Sales Leader at Amazon Web Services in Singapore, where he led enterprise revenue growth and SAP cloud transformation strategy across ASEAN. Before that, he was APAC Head of Strategic Account Sales and Transformation Leader at SoftwareOne. He began his career at SAP, where he spent 14 years. The role has a particular focus on application identity security, an area that has drawn more attention as companies deploy AI systems alongside legacy and cloud software. Businesses across Asia Pacific and Japan are under pressure to maintain visibility over access to critical systems while meeting governance and compliance standards. Mottram will work directly with customers to improve oversight of how identities interact with critical applications and systems. That includes strengthening access controls as organisations introduce new technologies into core business processes. James Ross, Regional Vice President - ANZ, Saviynt, linked the appointment to changing customer needs in Australia and New Zealand. "Australian and New Zealand private and public sector organisations are accelerating their adoption of AI while also having to navigate increasingly complex application, regulatory and compliance environments," said James Ross, Regional Vice President - ANZ, Saviynt. "Clinton's extensive SAP expertise, coupled with his deep knowledge of emerging technology and AI, will be invaluable in fostering customer innovation and bringing a competitive edge to our regional business operations at a time when organisations are reinforcing their application identity security and accelerating their ambitions to embrace AI safely," Ross said. Regional focus Mottram's background in SAP-related transformation is likely to be relevant for large enterprises in the region, where many organisations continue to rely on SAP for finance, supply chain and other core operations. Managing user access to those systems has become more important as companies connect them to cloud services, external partners and AI-driven workflows. His experience at Amazon Web Services and SoftwareOne also points to a focus on large enterprise accounts and partner-led engagement. In ASEAN, cloud migration and application modernisation programmes have created demand for tools that can track identities, permissions and compliance obligations across a growing mix of systems. Saviynt, which markets identity security software, has been broadening its position on AI-related governance as customers seek greater control over how people and systems use enterprise applications. Organisations need clearer oversight of digital identities as business processes become more automated. Mottram said those issues had become more visible in complex enterprise environments. "Having worked with some of the region's largest and most complex enterprise environments, I have seen how challenging it can be to maintain strong governance as organisations modernise applications and adopt AI," Mottram said. "I'm looking forward to working with organisations across APJ to strengthen access governance, improve visibility and control, and help them securely scale AI while managing risk. Saviynt is well positioned to support organisations through this next phase of transformation, and I'm pleased to be part of that journey."

Saviynt appoints Kamel Heus as Vice President of Sales for the Middle East and Africa. Cybersecurity veteran to drive regional growth, strengthen partner ecosystem and advance identity security across MEA Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 8, 2026: Saviynt, a leading provider of identity security solutions, today announced the appointment of Kamel Heus as Vice President of Sales for the Middle East and Africa (MEA). Based in Dubai, Heus will lead Saviynt's business across the MEA region, including Turkey, as the company advances its growth and strengthens its presence in key markets. In his new role, Heus will drive new business, renewals and customer expansion across MEA, while leading Saviynt's regional channel strategy, expanding its partner ecosystem, and building out the company's local go-to-market team. As AI reshapes how organizations across government, banking and financial services, utilities, healthcare, oil and gas, and retail approach identity, Heus' appointment reflects the growing importance of securing both agentic identities and AI-driven environments. His near-term priorities include deepening Saviynt's regional presence, expanding into Saudi Arabia, and growing local hosting capabilities to meet in-region delivery and data residency requirements. "MEA represents a significant opportunity for Saviynt as organizations across the region accelerate their digital transformation and increasingly look to AI to transform how they operate and grow," said Pete Angstadt, Chief Commercial Officer at Saviynt. "Our role is to help customers move faster on that journey while ensuring security and governance keep pace. Kamel's deep experience in the region and understanding of its customers, markets and partner ecosystem will be invaluable as we continue to expand our presence. We're making a long-term investment in MEA, and his appointment is an important step in bringing Saviynt closer to our customers and partners as we help accelerate their AI journey securely." Heus will also help MEA businesses address a new category of identity risk: AI agents. As these agents gain access to enterprise applications and data, they require the same discovery, governance and lifecycle controls that are traditionally applied to human identities. Saviynt's Zuma platform is built to meet this need, giving organizations visibility into AI identities and the ability to enforce least-privilege access across their lifecycle. "The Middle East and Africa have become one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity markets in the world, and Identity sits right at the center of it, especially as AI agents enter the enterprise," said Kamel Heus, Vice President of Sales, MEA, Saviynt. "I've spent over a decade building businesses from the ground up in this region, and I'm excited to do it again at Saviynt. My focus is to build out our local presence, grow a strong partner ecosystem, and enable organizations across MEA to grow their business through secure, confident access both for their people and their AI. It's a great time to be doing this work here." BusinessConsulting Services Heus brings 20 years of enterprise cybersecurity sales leadership and a strong track record of building and scaling businesses across the Middle East, Africa and Europe. He has held senior leadership roles at Thales, Centrify (now Delinea) and Sophos, most recently serving as Vice President, EMEA at Thales, where he led the company's Identity and Access Management business across the region. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Computing from Université Grenoble Alpes in France and has been based in Dubai for more than a decade. With Heus leading its MEA sales organization, Saviynt will continue to deepen its relationships with customers and partners, expand its regional capabilities and help organizations strengthen identity security as cloud, AI and digital transformation reshape enterprise environments.

Saviynt expands MEA push with Kamel Heus as regional sales Chief. 2 minutes read Saviynt is stepping up its expansion across the Middle East and Africa with the appointment of cybersecurity veteran Kamel Heus as Vice President of Sales for MEA, including Turkey. Based in Dubai, Heus will be responsible for growing Saviynt's regional business, from new customer acquisition and renewals to expanding existing accounts. He will also oversee the company's channel strategy, partner ecosystem and local go-to-market organisation. The appointment comes as organisations across the region accelerate cloud adoption and AI deployments, creating a more complex identity security challenge. Saviynt is increasingly positioning identity as a control point not only for employees and applications, but also for the growing number of AI agents accessing enterprise systems and data. Heus will have a particular focus on expanding Saviynt's presence in Saudi Arabia and developing local hosting capabilities to address requirements around in-region delivery and data residency. "MEA represents a significant opportunity for Saviynt as organisations across the region accelerate their digital transformation and increasingly look to AI to transform how they operate and grow," said Pete Angstadt, Chief Commercial Officer at Saviynt. "We're making a long-term investment in MEA, and his appointment is an important step in bringing Saviynt closer to our customers and partners." Heus brings two decades of enterprise cybersecurity sales experience across the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Before joining Saviynt, he served as Vice President, EMEA at Thales, where he led the company's Identity and Access Management business across the region. His previous leadership roles include positions at Centrify, now part of Delinea, and Sophos. He has been based in Dubai for more than a decade and has spent much of his career building cybersecurity businesses and partner networks across the region. For Saviynt, one of the emerging areas Heus will address is the security of AI agents. As autonomous software agents gain access to enterprise applications, systems and data, they introduce identities that need to be discovered, governed and controlled much like traditional human identities. Saviynt's Zuma platform is designed to provide visibility into these AI identities and apply access controls, including least-privilege policies, throughout their lifecycle. "The Middle East and Africa have become one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity markets in the world, and Identity sits right at the centre of it, especially as AI agents enter the enterprise," said Kamel Heus, Vice President of Sales, MEA, Saviynt. Heus said his priorities will include building Saviynt's local presence, expanding its partner ecosystem and helping organisations secure access for both employees and AI-driven systems. With a new regional sales leader and plans to expand in Saudi Arabia and local hosting, Saviynt's move signals a deeper commitment to the MEA market as identity security becomes increasingly intertwined with cloud transformation and enterprise AI adoption.
