MUMBAI: Mark Wong just pulled a classic sequel move at Acronis because when the legal eagle flies back after nine years, even cyber protection gets a stronger wingman. Acronis, the global cyber protection leader, has welcomed back Mark Wong as chief corporate & business development officer. In this role, Wong will serve as general counsel and oversee legal & governance, government & regulatory affairs, and mergers & acquisitions key functions supporting the company’s rapid strategic expansion.

Acronis, CEO Jan-Jaap Jager said, “Mark’s deep legal expertise and experience scaling global technology companies make him an exceptional addition to our leadership team. Having worked with Mark previously, we know firsthand his ability to build strong governance and legal frameworks while supporting strategic growth initiatives.”

Wong originally served as Acronis General Counsel from 2010 to 2017, helping establish the company’s legal and governance foundation during a critical phase of international growth. He most recently spent nearly nine years as Senior Vice President of Legal at a leading backup and replication software company, leading a global legal team across 30 countries and guiding multiple strategic acquisitions during significant expansion.
