As part of FPC’s focus on the mobile market, the key global markets include Taiwan, China and Korea. Accordingly, FPC has elected to open a regional office in Taiwan, to serve as a center for technological development in mobile telephony and as a hub for technological advancement for most of the major global electronics companies. James Wei is based in the newly opened office and will, in addition to his pursuits in the mobile sector, also provide support to FPC’s existing distributors, primarily in Taiwan, China and Korea.
James Wei has a solid background in telecommunications and IT, and has worked with sales through partners and directly for OEM customers. He worked most recently for Opera Software – one of the world’s leading browser companies – where he was Senior VP and President of Asia Pacific. Prior to this, he was President of Teleca Taiwan – one of the world’s leading system integrators of mobile-phone software. Before Teleca, James Wei held executive positions at Openwave, HelloAsia and iAsiaworks.
“Opening an office in Taiwan and employing James Wei enables us to further strengthen our position in the crucial Asian mobile-phone market. The recruitment will also reinforce our existing market positions since James will also provide support to our already strong regional distributors in their sales efforts,” says FPC’s President and CEO Johan Carlström.
