After leading Adobe’s Asia Pacific enterprise sales for the past year, ANZ managing director Paul Robson now moves to regional president.

He succeeds Craig Tegel who is leaving the company at the end of this month after 17 years with Adobe.

Worldwide field operations executive vice president Matt Thompson says Tegel led extensive growth for Adobe in the region, and he is confident business will continue to thrive under Robson’s leadership.

Robson will continue to be based in Sydney headquarters, travelling frequently to oversee operations elsewhere in Australasia, and in southeast Asia, Korea, India and Greater China. He joined Adobe as ANZ managing director in 2012 from Hewlett Packard, having transferred to the company from Compaq. His CV includes the founding of Bridal Gifts Direct in 2003, building turnover to $5 million in four years. He is also a director of Tresillian, the Royal Society for the Welfare of Mothers and Babies, which is involved in the delivery of child and family healthcare.”
