V2 AI, an Asia-Pacific data and AI consultancy with a regional hub in Singapore, said on November 12 it had appointed Arseny Chernov as director of forward deployed engineering for applied AI.

The role covers Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Chernov most recently led regional technical teams at HashiCorp across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Korea, and Greater China.

He previously held senior roles at Google and Databricks.

V2 AI opened its Singapore hub in July and said Chernov would work on enterprise AI architecture, secure multi-agent workflows, and data, governance, and infrastructure issues tied to larger AI deployments.

The hire comes as Singapore has published a model framework for agentic AI governance, while the Infocomm Media Development Authority outlined its broader approach to AI deployment and oversight.
