After close to 5 remarkable years — and countless "you're on mute" reminders — the time has come to move to a new chapter. 😂🎙️ From building a channel ecosystem across Asia Pacific to championing a channel-first strategy — none of it would have been possible without an absolutely incredible group of people. To our Zoom APAC Channels, Alliances, and Service Provider partners — you were the reason the team and I showed up every day. Thank you for trusting us. To the APAC and Global Channel Leadership team, past and present — Nick Tidd, Steve Rafferty, Ricky Kapur Graeme Geddes — your guidance, vision, and culture set the tone. I'm grateful to have learned from each of you. You truly are the game changers. Mike Johnson, Boon Leong Ong, Stephen Liu, Sungwon Jun, and Arijit Dey — I couldn't be leaving the work in better hands. This team is something special. Keep the momentum going. 🚀 And to my brilliant peers — Sergio Aguilera, Cathy Yum, Gina Paul Ang Dinesh Bedi, Lukas Carruthers, Jaime Cooley, the regional sales leadership team, and our rockstar channel marketing team — you made the hard days fun and the good days legendary. Zoom didn't just teach me about building a channel ecosystem — it reminded me that the best work is always built on trust, people, and a shared belief in what's possible. Ayrton Senna said it best — "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver." Stay tuned for what's ahead — I've never been one to lift off the throttle. The next lap starts now. 🏎️🎬
