As Chief Sales and Growth Officer at Zoom, Graeme Geddes is responsible for leading Zoom’s sales, solution engineering, sales operations, enablement, and channel teams across the globe.
A 20-year collaboration industry veteran, Graeme joined Zoom in 2019 as General Manager of Zoom’s Phone business, taking it from product launch to more than 5.5 million seats sold in less than four years. He has also spearheaded the successful go-to-market strategies of many of Zoom’s recent platform innovations including Zoom Contact Center, Zoom Rooms, and Zoom IQ for Sales.
Before joining Zoom, Graeme spent nearly 16 years at Cisco in a variety of leadership roles, finishing his tenure there as Americas Director for Collaboration Sales of Webex Meetings, Team Messaging and Video Endpoints. He also spent nearly four years as a firefighter with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
He holds a BS in Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo and a certificate in Innovation Leadership from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
In October 2019 Zoom and Neat, a Norwegian video communications pioneer, announced a partnership to provide customers with improved access to leading hardware solutions. Today, we wanted to share additional exciting steps in that partnership and our commitment to serving customers across the globe.
In addition to participating in Zoom’s Hardware as a Service (HaaS) program, which is available in the U.S., Neat has launched Neat as a Service (NaaS), its global hardware subscription program that provides customers with innovative hardware solutions for a low monthly price. NaaS is now available to Neat customers in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. (Customers outside these countries who wish to take advantage of NaaS can do so by contacting Neat.) As part of the program, Neat is offering two products to enhance your meeting experience with high-quality audio and video:
Neat Board is the complete Zoom Rooms package in a simple and elegant all-in-one device. With its immersive 65-inch multi-touch screen, powerful audio system, and versatile wide-angle camera, Neat Board provides a Zoom Rooms experience beyond video meetings and wireless content sharing by enabling co-annotation and whiteboarding. Because it’s a dedicated Zoom Rooms Appliance, Neat Board takes minutes to set up and is fully managed through the Zoom admin portal. Neat Board is available for pre-order today at $4,500 and will ship at the end of October 2020. Neat Board will be available through the NaaS program when it begins shipping.
Neat Bar is compatible with Zoom for Home, a new offering combining Zoom software enhancements with compatible hardware that gives customers the opportunity to create a customized work-from-home communications experience across spaces.
After our 2019 investment, Zoom made an additional financial investment in Neat earlier this year to ensure that Zoom customers have continued access to Neat’s innovative hardware that enables secure, frictionless meeting experiences.
