Danfoss Drives has elevated Anshuman Behera to Director of Digital and Lifecycle Services (DLS) for the Asia Pacific region, expanding his leadership responsibilities across service operations, partner management and digital offerings.

Behera announced the development in a LinkedIn post, outlining a mandate that includes coordinating service sales and delivery, managing service partners, strengthening lifecycle and digital offerings, and driving operational excellence across the region.

In his new role, he will work closely with sales teams and key stakeholders to strengthen customer loyalty, expand Danfoss Drives' service portfolio and accelerate the execution of its DLS strategy across Asia Pacific.

Before his elevation, Behera served as Head of Strategy and Partner Business for Danfoss Drives Asia Pacific. In that role, he worked on initiatives aimed at strengthening the company's distribution network and improving partner performance.

Among these was the Danfoss Partner Excellence Program 2.0, which supports distribution partners through structured business plans, targeted activities and performance-linked rewards. The programme was extended across markets including Indonesia, Vietnam and South Korea.

The expanded mandate places Behera at the intersection of service-led growth, digital solutions and partner development across the Asia Pacific region.
