Pelco, world leader in design, development and manufacture of video and security systems
Pelco management welcomes Jean-Baptiste Hazard as Vice President of Pelco Asia Pacific
Pelco management is proud to welcome Jean-Baptiste Hazard as the new Vice President of Pelco Asia Pacific (APAC). Hazard replaces Herve Fages who has taken on the role as Pelco Director of Global Marketing.

Hazard joins the Pelco team after more than 10 years with Schneider Electric, working in areas from strategy and logistics to general management. Hazard has considerable experience working in dynamic and changing environments, which will be very useful considering the fast paced environment and cultural diversity he will face in his new role.

"A picture is better than words, so a video system can be very convincing," said Hazard when asked what brought him to Pelco. "The market and the world are going for more and more security, I see huge growth potential and I want to be a part of that."

Working in Asia Pacific is something Hazard has been looking forward to and he and his family will be relocating from France to Shanghai, China. The Pelco APAC region includes China, India, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
