BE CYBER SECURE

Cyber security awareness month in APAC

The frequency of cyber attacks continues to escalate and more companies and individuals are impacted every day.

No strategy can eliminate risk, but an effective, well-trained workforce can reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber attacks on Cummins’ sensitive information, intellectual property and financial and personal information. October was cyber security awareness month worldwide and APAC had the pleasure to host a Zoom session with the global cyber security team. Hosted by Selin Yilmaz, with guest speakers Ben Hill (Senior Analyst, Cyber Security Training and Awareness), Joe Uhl (Senior Analyst, Cyber Security Policy) and Humberto Resende (Manager, Cyber Security Operations), all 70 participants had the opportunity to learn about the significance of cyber safety at home and at work from knowledgeable guest speakers. To learn more on any cyber security topic or if you have any further questions, please follow the Global Cyber Security SharePoint site and/or reach out to Selin (SE699).

All your Cummins IT links are now within a single SharePoint site. The APAC IT team has created a SharePoint community site for the region to access whenever you need any IT information. All APAC employees can now navigate through information about software, hardware, CGDs, policies and more.

Introducing the Asia Pacific marketing and communications team

Jessie Shustin

APAC Marketing Communications, On-highway

Hi everyone! I’m Jessica Shustin (previously Jessica Israel, but I managed to sneak in a wedding between Melbourne lockdowns 3 and 4). I’ve been with Cummins for three years, based in Melbourne, and I’m the Marketing Communications Specialist for On-highway Asia Pacific. I enjoy working in a team environment to develop and nurture creative ideas for campaigns and I look forwarding to implementing new campaigns for the region, including the launch of the X15 Euro VI in the South Pacific. In my spare time I play women’s AFL football and basketball and enjoy taking my dog on adventures across Melbourne. I look forward to being able to travel again.

Vivian Zhao

APAC Senior Marketing Communications, Off-highway

My journey with Cummins started in 2007, following a path in global B2B marketing. I am responsible for developing integrated marketing and communication plans and strategies and implementing them to support business growth in our Mining and Off-highway businesses across the Asia Pacific region. My expertise is marketing and communications, brand management and marketing strategies, and project management and they’re what I am passionate about. I am based in Melbourne and look forward to being able to meet colleagues in the Scoresby office again soon. I have an undergraduate degree in business (marketing) from Monash University and am currently doing a part-time MBA with Melbourne Business School. I am Six Sigma green belt certified and a Certified Practising Marketer with the Australian Marketing Institute. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, swimming and listening to my 10-year-old daughter play the clarinet. My favorite food is dumplings – boiled, steamed or fried – there are so many options, especially tied to the lunar new year celebrations. I like to try different cuisines and am in love with cheese, avocado and mushrooms.

I look forward to working with you to develop brand awareness, support business growth, and make the Cummins ‘C’ shine for a world that’s always on.

Brooke Butler

APAC Senior Marketing Communications, Aftermarket and Internal Communications

Hi everyone, I am the Senior Marketing Communications Specialist for Asia Pacific supporting Aftermarket and APAC internal communications, based in the Carole Park, Brisbane, facility. I’ve been with Cummins almost three years, supporting the Northern region as Regional HR manager before starting in my current role in the marcomms team in August this year. In 2022, I look forward to partnering with stakeholders across Asia Pacific to execute some fantastic marketing campaigns to ultimately achieve significant revenue growth and collaborating with the global and APAC marcomms teams. I was born in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, but grew up in Mildura, Victoria. I love to travel and experience different cultures. I spent several years travelling around the Caribbean, the US, the UK, Europe and South America, and living in the Dominican Republic and the UK, before moving back to Australia seven years ago. When I was young, I regularly travelled around Australia with my dad in his Kenworth truck, so I picked up the Cummins brand loyalty from him at an early age. Dad’s pride for Cummins was part of the reason I decided to join the company in 2019, just after he passed away. I strive for continuous improvement, efficiency and positive transformation at work. Outside work, that translates into an appetite for renovating houses. In my spare time, I’m at the beach with my dog Bear, on our boat, or ducking up to the Whitsundays for a quick trip with my hubby Ash.

Henry Hongjae Shin

Senior Marketing Communications, Japan and Korea

Hi, I’m Henry Hongjae Shin and I joined Cummins in October as the Marketing Communications Specialist for Korea and Japan, based in Japan. I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and spent my childhood and youth in London, UK, where my passion for cars and everything automotive started.

During school, I worked for BMW and Audi, and professionally with Peugeot, Ford and Infiniti at their headquarters in Hong Kong. In 2009, I introduced the Subaru brand into South Korea for the first time. I enjoy driving cars and, before COVID-19,
