"Over the last 7 years, Infor has spent more than $3 billion dollars in R&D and developed the first set of mission-critical, industry-specific business applications in cloud," said Stephan Scholl, president of Infor. "The company is poised for accelerated growth in Asia-Pacific, and Helen Masters has proven herself as the right leader to deliver this growth. I am especially pleased to announce her promotion as the company's first female geo lead on International Women's Day."
Masters has quickly ascended the ranks to become the first female to lead a major region at Infor. In 2016, three years after being hired as VP of the Asean region, Masters was promoted to vice-president, Asean and the Pacific, which includes Australia and New Zealand. During her tenure in this role, Infor's business across the region grew considerably, as Masters took advantage of new developments at Infor, including Infor CloudSuite, Infor Birst Analytics, Infor OS and Infor Coleman, to create transformational deals for some of Asia-Pacific's largest organisations and companies.
"I am excited to lead Asia-Pacific, a region that continues to be a growth engine for the global economy," said Masters. "We are confident that organisations in the region will be able to capture the full benefits and tremendous business advantages that Infor innovation and the cloud has to offer. On International Women's Day, I wish to take this moment to celebrate the achievements of women from all walks of life, and the knowledge that we have real choices."
Infor builds business software for specific industries in cloud. With 16,500 employees and over 90,000 customers in over 170 countries, Infor software is designed for progress. To learn more, please visit www.infor.com
