Matthew Saxon will join Zoom Video Communications as the company’s Chief People Officer, effective immediately. Saxon has over 20 years of expertise in human resources and operations management. He was previously the Senior Vice President of Compensation, HR Operations, and Shared Services at Humana, and was most recently the Vice President of People Operations at Meta. Saxon will be in charge of Zoom’s people experience team and will report to Aparna Bawa, the company’s COO.
Saxon will help Zoom scale all aspects of the business, including culture, organisational design, talent acquisition, engagement, training and development, employee experience, and infrastructure, as it continues to grow.
“Our Zoomies are at the core of everything we do, and we know that having the right leader in place to help shape the future of Zoom’s workforce will allow us to better serve our customers’ evolving needs. We are excited to welcome Matthew, who has a deep understanding of the complexities today’s workforce is facing, and we are confident that his skill set will help elevate and strengthen Zoom as we navigate the next phase of work together,” said Bawa.
“I was drawn to Zoom’s clarity in its core value of care. It is obvious in everything the company does, but most importantly, it’s clear the leadership team genuinely cares about employees. Zoom has completely transformed the way people and businesses connect, and I’m excited to help drive the company forward by elevating and advocating for our employees. Together, Zoom will continue to lead and demonstrate how companies can thrive to drive successful business outcomes,” said Saxon.
