In a strategic move to strengthen its presence across the Asia Pacific, H2O.ai has appointed Jamie Lim as Vice President of Partnerships for the region. The announcement comes at a time when the company is witnessing a remarkable 300% revenue increase across APAC, signalling a sharp rise in enterprise adoption of AI technologies.
With over 15 years of expertise in developing technology partnerships, Lim steps into her new role following her tenure as Senior Director of ISG Channels and Partner Presales at Dell Technologies, where she oversaw operations across the Asia Pacific and Japan. She is widely recognised in the industry for her achievements, including multiple awards and a consistent track record in building high-performing channel ecosystems.
As part of her responsibilities, Lim will focus on scaling H2O.ai’s partner ecosystem throughout the region. She will concentrate on cultivating strong, trust-based collaborations and delivering shared success with partners. Her remit includes enhancing existing alliances with leading organisations such as Dell Technologies, Ingram Micro, and TD Synnex, while also expanding the company’s footprint by onboarding new partners to further advance AI adoption across the region.
“Jamie is a superstar with a deep understanding of the APJ’s AI and infrastructure partnerships and channel. She has a proven ability to build robust ecosystems that thrive and scale,” said Sri Ambati, CEO and founder of H2O.ai. “Over the last couple of years, our team and partners have executed on phenomenal growth in the banking, telco, and public sectors in Singapore, Sydney, and APJ, and now we seek to deepen that success and continue to support our global customers and community. We want to raise a forest, not just a tree, and Jamie will amplify that growth with an outsized impact, strengthening our mission to democratize AI and our commitment to scale AI for Good through meaningful partnerships.”
Lim expressed her enthusiasm about joining H2O.ai during what she described as a critical time for the AI sector.
“I am honored to join H2O.ai at this pivotal moment in the AI industry,” said Lim. “My approach has always been about working side by side with partners, supporting their success through a deep understanding of customer needs and shared outcomes. I look forward to bringing this perspective to H2O.ai, where we can co-create solutions and unlock new possibilities together with our partner ecosystem.”
Her career portfolio includes key leadership positions at major firms including SailPoint, Citrix, and EMC. Throughout her journey, she has been recognised with numerous honours such as Dell Technologies’ Chairman’s Club, Highest Growth Performer, and the Innovation Award. She was also named a finalist in the Channel Asia Women in ICT Awards, reflecting her standing within the tech industry.
H2O.ai’s move to bring Lim on board comes as part of its broader strategy to respond to rising demand for AI-driven transformation in industries including banking, telecommunications, and public services across APAC.
