Zscaler has appointed Sanjay Yadave as Senior Vice President – Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ), expanding his leadership responsibilities as the company focuses on the region’s growing demand for cybersecurity solutions in the AI era.
Yadave has been elevated from his previous role as Vice President & Managing Director, Greater Asia, where he led the business for the past two years. In his new role, he will oversee Zscaler’s operations across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Southeast Asia, South Korea and Greater China, with responsibility for business strategy, investments and regional team growth.
Since joining Zscaler in 2024, Yadave has contributed to the company’s expansion across Greater Asia, including strengthening its presence in South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines, expanding data centre offerings and establishing a new office in Singapore.
