Singapore – Zoom Communications has appointed Carlos Quaderi as its new Head of Asia Pacific (APAC), effective 1 August 2026, as the company looks to strengthen its presence in the region and expand its AI-powered collaboration offerings.
Quaderi will report to Graeme Geddes, Zoom’s Chief Sales and Growth Officer, and will oversee the company’s go-to-market strategy across Australia and New Zealand, Asia, India, and Korea, excluding Japan.
The appointment comes as organisations across the Asia-Pacific region increasingly adopt AI-powered systems designed to streamline workflows, improve productivity, and enhance collaboration beyond standalone workplace tools.
Quaderi previously served as Zoom’s Head of Asia, where he led regional strategy, sales execution, and go-to-market initiatives across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan. In his expanded role, he will oversee the broader APAC business while working with regional teams and global leadership to advance the company’s priorities, including its customer experience (CX) business, small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment, and channel expansion.
Based in Singapore, Quaderi will continue overseeing Zoom’s Asia business during the leadership transition.
Before joining Zoom, Quaderi held senior leadership positions at Workday, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft, where he was responsible for go-to-market strategy and enterprise growth across Asia Pacific and Japan. He has more than 30 years of industry experience.
Commenting on the appointment, Geddes said, “APAC is a critical growth region, and our continued investment reflects the opportunities we see across enterprise & SMB segments, CX business, and our partner ecosystem. 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.”
Quaderi said, “Across APAC, teams are moving faster than ever, and they need technology that keeps pace without losing the human element and momentum. 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 said it is continuing to invest in the Asia-Pacific region through initiatives including expanding its partner ecosystem and opening a new office in Singapore. The company said its open platform ecosystem integrates with existing business applications to help organisations improve collaboration, customer engagement, and workplace productivity.
