Prior to EMC, Corser led Nokia's enterprise software go-to-market strategy and business for APJ channels and partners including driving the 'Nokia for business' software solution.

Earlier on in his career, Corser was enterprise software partner manager at Microsoft in Australia and New Zealand.

Corser says, "I am honoured to lead Matterport's growth and expansion in APAC as part of its mission to digitise and index the entire built world. APAC is experiencing tremendous technological innovation and Matterport is a critical and enabling platform to this ecosystem.

"I am excited to help accelerate the adoption of 3D digital twin technology in the region, with a focus on scaling enterprise growth across industry verticals, expanding our partner integrations and third-party developer ecosystem, and product innovation.
