BlueJeans Network, cloud-based video communications company, today announced James Brennan as the new Director of Asia Pacific.

Brennan’s key priority will be accelerating BlueJeans’ strong growth in the APAC region, leading the sales, marketing, and customer success teams, while also working closely with customers and partners.

The hire follows other key global executive appointments and comes as BlueJeans recently exceeded two billion video minutes consumed annually on the BlueJeans Enterprise Video Cloud™ platform.

“Customers in APAC are looking for powerful video tools that are easy to use, affordable, and simple to deploy. I am excited to show them how BlueJeans can meet their needs like no other video solution,” said Brennan.

Brennan is a communications industry heavyweight who previously spent over 10 years at Polycom in Asia and North America, where he held senior leadership positions in sales, marketing, and product management.

James Campanini, GM of International at BlueJeans Network said, “The appointment of James is a great coup for BlueJeans, our customers, and our channel partners throughout Asia Pacific. James’ passion and reputation as a video communications evangelist precede him.

“BlueJeans will benefit from his depth of experience, driving the transformation of business communications across the region.”

“It is an exciting time to join BlueJeans. We have a dedicated team and focused plan in place to build on our momentum and accelerate growth. The coming months will see further investment in ANZ, including partner expansion, as well as expansion in wider APAC,” added Brennan.
