Zoom Communications has announced the appointment of Carlos Quaderi as Head of Asia Pacific (APAC), effective 1 August 2026, underscoring the company’s continued investment in APAC as a strategic growth region.
His appointment comes as organisations across APAC look beyond standalone productivity tools to AI-powered systems that reduce complexity, connect workflows, and help teams move more quickly from conversations to completion.
Reporting directly to Graeme Geddes, Zoom’s Chief Sales and Growth Officer, Quaderi will lead Zoom’s go-to-market strategy across APAC: Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Asia, India, and Korea, excluding Japan.
Quaderi previously served as Zoom’s Head of Asia, where he drove regional strategy, sales execution, and go-to-market initiatives for Southeast Asia, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan. He will now oversee the broader APAC region, working closely with regional teams and global leadership to advance the company’s strategic priorities, with a focus on the customer experience (CX) business, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment, and channel expansion.
A seasoned industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, Quaderi previously held senior leadership roles at Workday, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft, where he led go-to-market strategy and enterprise growth across Asia Pacific and Japan. Quaderi will remain based in Singapore and will continue overseeing Zoom’s Asia business through the transition.
“APAC is a critical growth region, and our continued investment reflects the opportunities we see across enterprise and SME segments, our CX business, and our partner ecosystem,” said Geddes. “Carlos has been instrumental in building our momentum, and expanding his leadership is a natural next step. His deep understanding of the region, customer focus, and track record will help more organisations embrace Zoom’s AI capabilities in ways that improve productivity, strengthen customer relationships, and accelerate business growth.”
“Across APAC, teams are moving faster than ever, and they need technology that keeps pace without losing the human element and momentum,” said Quaderi. “I’m excited to work alongside our customers and partners in the region to help them unlock new possibilities with Zoom’s AI-powered system of action and open ecosystem, connecting conversations, people, and workflows so they can move faster from ideas to impact and achieve meaningful business outcomes.”
Zoom continues to invest across the APAC region, expanding its partner ecosystem and opening a new Singapore office. By integrating with existing business applications, the company’s open platform ecosystem helps organisations improve collaboration, deepen human connections, and elevate customer experiences with signature simplicity and reliability.
