According to AMD, Awasti will be based in Singapore and will focus on expanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and channel partnerships, while enhancing customer collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region. This initiative aims to support ongoing growth in cloud, enterprise, artificial intelligence (AI), commercial, and consumer sectors.
Awasti is recognized as a sales expert with over 20 years of global leadership experience in the technology industry. Before joining AMD, he served as Senior Vice President of Global Computing Sales at Qualcomm. He also spent 21 years at HP, where he held various senior leadership roles.
"AMD's broad computing and AI solutions present significant opportunities across the Asia-Pacific and Japan regions," Awasti said. "I look forward to working closely with customers and partners to accelerate innovation and growth."
AMD plans to actively respond to the surging demand for AI and accelerated computing in the Asia-Pacific region. The company has committed over $10 billion (approximately 15 trillion won) to invest in Taiwan's AI ecosystem, collaborating with local partners to enhance advanced packaging production capabilities.
With next-generation AI accelerators like 'Helios' and other high-performance products, AMD is accelerating its efforts to secure supply contracts with major global tech companies, intensifying its competition with NVIDIA.
