NEW YORK & SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation software company, today announced Lee Hawksley has joined the Company as Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific and Japan, effective November 2022.

Asia Pacific, India, and Japan hold huge promise for UiPath, and I look forward to accelerating our leadership as the partner of choice for C-suite leaders driving digital transformation initiatives.”

“Asia Pacific and Japan represents one of most diverse and exciting business communities on the planet and in turn, I believe one of the biggest opportunities for UiPath,” said Hawksley. “As businesses of all shapes and sizes, and across all industries, accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, it’s clear that automation is a key value driver that will get bigger over time. As the market leader, UiPath is uniquely positioned to play a key role as a strategic partner to our customers in the region.”
