ESET, a leader in cybersecurity, has named Pamela Ong as its new Country Manager for Singapore and the Asia region. The announcement highlights the firm’s sharpened focus on meeting the rising demand for advanced digital protection amid a wave of post-pandemic transformation.
As Singapore races ahead as a digital economy, Ong’s leadership is poised to shape ESET’s next chapter in the region.

Her efforts reflect a broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the tech industry.
Strategic Bet on Singapore
According to Parvinder Walia, ESET’s President for the Asia Pacific region, the appointment sends a clear message: «Singapore is a strategic priority for ESET. It’s paramount that we place our best people in our most important roles, and Pamela brings unmatched experience, leadership, and vision to this position.»
Based in the Heart of Innovation
Ong will be based in Singapore, reporting directly to Walia. From this key location, she will drive ESET’s efforts to strengthen cybersecurity frameworks across Asia, ensuring businesses, governments, and individuals alike are better protected in an increasingly digital world.
