Monday.com appoints Dean Swan to GM APJ

Monday.com has promoted Dean Swan to general manager of Asia Pacific and Japan.

Previously regional vice president of APJ, in his new role as general manager of APJ, Swan will join monday.com’s chief revenue officer (CRO) leadership team and support monday.com’s new hybrid regional structure.

As one of monday.com's first employees in Australia, Swan oversaw the opening of the company’s regional headquarters in Sydney earlier this year, as well as the company’s office opening in Japan last year.

In starting his new role, Swan will focus on further expanding operational excellence and oversee all of monday.com’s APJ teams, including Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, Singapore, and Japan.

Swan will act as the regional leader owning and driving revenue and retention across APJ. He will oversee the continued growth in the region and expansion of the team as monday.com continues to scale, including product growth areas such as monday sales CRM and monday dev. Swan will continue to report directly to Yoni Osherov, CRO at monday.com.

Swan said, “It’s been an incredible journey since launching monday.com in Australia, and I’m looking forward to continuing to expand our multi-product offering across the APJ market in my new role. This new structure will ensure we're delivering utmost value to our customers based on their regional needs."

As part of the CRO organisation evolving, monday.com said it is establishing a hybrid regional structure to empower the regions while providing a connection to core global functions.

APJ, North America, and EMEA, will be led by a regional leader who will own and be accountable for the entire revenue and retention in the region, driving annual recurring revenue and net dollar retention and ensuring all client-facing and supporting-operational functions are aligned on the regional goals.

Osherov said, “This shift to a hybrid regional model is the natural next step to take monday.com and the CRO organisation to the next level. While certain functions will remain global, the power behind this new structure is that it brings a level of uniqueness to each region.

"This is crucial as we scale, as each regional leader will have the autonomy to create strategies that are tailored to specific market needs."
