Work management and productivity platform monday.com has announced the appointment of Chris Jordan as Regional Vice President for Southeast Asia and Country Manager for Singapore, while also naming Singapore as its second Asia-Pacific headquarters alongside Sydney.
The strategic move underscores the company’s commitment to accelerating growth across Southeast Asia and strengthening its position in one of the world’s fastest-growing artificial intelligence and digital transformation markets.
Singapore Becomes monday.com’s Second APAC Headquarters
The decision to establish Singapore as a regional headquarters reflects monday.com’s long-term investment strategy in Asia-Pacific and its confidence in the region’s rapidly expanding enterprise technology sector.
Since opening its Singapore office in October 2025, the company has significantly expanded its local operations, growing its regional workforce to more than 30 employees and achieving 23% year-on-year growth across Southeast Asia.
Today, monday.com serves more than 4,700 customers across the region, supporting organizations as they modernize workflows, improve collaboration, and adopt AI-powered business solutions.
Chris Jordan to Drive Growth Across Southeast Asia and India
Based in Singapore, Chris Jordan will oversee monday.com’s operations across Southeast Asia and India, with a focus on enterprise customer growth, strategic partnerships, and helping organizations maximize the value of their AI investments.
Jordan brings more than two decades of experience in the Asia-Pacific technology and business landscape. Before joining monday.com, he held senior leadership positions at global organizations including BBDO, Salesforce, and Slack, where he led business operations across Southeast Asia.
Commenting on his appointment, Jordan said:
“Across Southeast Asia and India, enterprises are deeply energised by what AI can do for their businesses and are ready to move from curiosity to execution at scale, and Singapore is at the centre of that shift.”
“Establishing our regional headquarters here is a statement of long-term commitment, not just to Singapore, but to every market across the region, and I am excited to help lead that charge.”
Southeast Asia Emerging as a Key AI Growth Market
The announcement comes as businesses across Southeast Asia increasingly accelerate their artificial intelligence adoption strategies.
Organizations are moving beyond pilot projects and experimental use cases toward large-scale AI deployment aimed at improving productivity, operational efficiency, customer experience, and decision-making.
Singapore has emerged as one of the region’s leading AI hubs, supported by a highly skilled workforce, pro-business regulatory frameworks, and strong government backing for technology innovation.
The country’s 2026 Budget introduced additional initiatives focused on AI adoption, digital innovation, and talent development, further strengthening its position as a preferred destination for global technology companies.
Enterprises Accelerate AI Adoption
Recent industry data highlights the growing momentum behind AI transformation in the region.
In Singapore, approximately 56% of enterprises have already made significant progress in scaling AI adoption across their organizations, reflecting increasing confidence in the technology’s ability to drive measurable business outcomes.
However, despite rising investment levels, many organizations continue to face several challenges, including:
- Shortages of AI-skilled talent
- Complex integration with legacy systems
- Data management and governance issues
- Difficulty measuring return on investment (ROI)
- Scaling AI initiatives across business functions
These challenges have created demand for platforms that simplify implementation while helping businesses achieve tangible results from AI investments.
monday.com Focuses on AI-Powered Enterprise Productivity
monday.com aims to address these challenges through its AI-powered work management platform, which enables organizations to automate workflows, improve collaboration, and streamline operations across teams.
By integrating artificial intelligence directly into workplace processes, the company seeks to help enterprises accelerate digital transformation while reducing complexity and improving operational performance.
The platform is increasingly being adopted by businesses looking to scale AI initiatives without requiring extensive technical expertise or large infrastructure investments.
Strengthening Regional Leadership in Digital Transformation
The establishment of a second Asia-Pacific headquarters and the appointment of an experienced regional leader signal monday.com’s ambition to deepen its presence across Southeast Asia and India.
As enterprises continue investing in AI, automation, and digital transformation initiatives, the company is positioning itself to capitalize on growing demand for intelligent work management solutions that support productivity, innovation, and long-term business growth.
With Singapore serving as a strategic hub for regional operations, monday.com is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping organizations across Asia unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence and modern workplace technologies.
