“To me, India means opportunity and hope”
 Shane Dennison, Asia Sales Manager, Corsair Memory, is based in Taiwan and responsible for partner channel and marketing management throughout the region. Prior to joining Corsair in 2004, he was the Global Marketing Manager for VIA Technologies, Taiwan, for seven years.
If not in the IT industry: I would have migrated towards tourism or teaching as a profession. But ultimately, it would have involved Asia and traveling.
Biggest passion: Being a Kiwi (from New Zealand) I grew up with sports. In my teens, I used to participate in Triathlon (swim-bike-run) racing. I am still very passionate about it.
Behind the wheels: On weekends, it is a Korean Daewoo. During the week, I prefer to ride my Yamaha 125cc bike.
Gadget I can’t live without: I am constantly on the move, so I simply can not do without my Lenovo ThinkPad X60s.
Role model: A gentleman named Gordo, who has the gift of maximizing his time, and balancing career, family and triathlon.
Weekends are for: Fun activities with my three daughters and wife like snorkeling, hanging out at barbeques or camping.
Favorite holiday destination: Without a doubt, the Southern Islands of Thailand.
Hate the most: I am a stickler for punctuality and protocol. People that make a habit of being late drive me crazy.
Ultimate ambition: To see the day when Corsair earns $1 million monthly sales in India. When I see those numbers, I will feel we have accomplished something special.
Celebrity I’d like to spend a day with: It amuses me that people care so much about celebrities and their lives.
As I don’t have much spare time to read on a regular basis, I don’t get to follow many celebs. But it would have been interesting to meet Michael Jackson.
India means: To me, opportunity and hope. I have been living in Asia now for almost two decades. India is still in the early development stage and has so much further to go. Now is an exciting time to be here.
