Zoom appoints Carlos Quaderi as head of APAC to drive next phase of AI-powered growth

• Former head of Asia expands leadership role to oversee commercial growth across the wider Asia-Pacific region
• Appointment reflects Zoom’s continued investment in AI-powered collaboration, customer experience and regional expansion

Zoom Communications has appointed Carlos Quaderi (pic) as head of Asia-Pacific (APAC), effective 1 August 2026, underscoring the company’s continued investment in the region as a strategic growth market.

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, chief sales and growth officer, Zoom, Quaderi will lead the company’s go-to-market strategy across APAC, including Australia and New Zealand, Asia, India and Korea, excluding Japan.

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 new role, he will oversee the broader APAC region, working closely with regional teams and global leadership to advance the company’s strategic priorities, with a focus on customer experience (CX), the small and medium-sized business segment (SMB) and channel expansion.

With more than 30 years of industry 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. He will remain based in Singapore and continue overseeing Zoom’s Asia business during the transition.

“APAC is a critical growth region, and our continued investment reflects the opportunities we see across enterprise and SMB segments, CX, and our partner ecosystem,” said Graeme Geddes, chief sales and growth officer, Zoom.

“Quaderi 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,” Quaderi said.

“I’m excited to work alongside our customers and partners across 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 APAC by expanding its partner ecosystem and opening a new Singapore office. Through its open platform ecosystem and integrations with existing business applications, the company helps organisations improve collaboration, deepen human connections and enhance customer experiences.
