Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has announced the appointment of Adrian Giecco as regional director, South Pacific, effective July 1, 2025.
Adrian will take over the role from Anthony Wong, who was recently promoted to vice president – enterprise software sales and consulting services – Asia Pacific, for Rockwell Automation.

I’m excited to lead this incredible team, strengthen existing relationships, and explore new partnerships as we help shape the future of industrial operations,” he said.
Adrian joined Rockwell Automation in 2012 as a solution architect in Victoria, Australia. He’s since held roles of increasing responsibility including business manager for Controllers and I/O Asia Pacific, and later, business manager for Architecture and Software in South Pacific.
Since 2020, Adrian has served as the director of Software and Control for the Asia Pacific region, based out of Singapore.
“With our premier event, ROKLive, being held July 29-31 on the Gold Coast, I’m ready to hit the ground running and make connections with valued partners, customers, end-users, and colleagues,” he said.
