John Lombard has been named president for Asia Pacific at Workday, an enterprise AI platform for HR, finance, and IT.
Most recently, he spent a decade as APAC CEO for NTT Data, with prior experience including senior leadership roles at SAP, KPMG Australia, and Crowe Howarth, a business and financial advisory organisation.
Based in Australia and Singapore, Lombard will oversee Workday’s regional go-to-market strategy, commercial operations, and continued expansion across key APAC markets. He will focus on scaling the business in the region, deepening the partner ecosystem, and helping customers leverage the Workday platform to drive operational efficiency and growth.
"Asia Pacific is an epicentre of global innovation, presenting an incredible opportunity for businesses to leverage intelligent technology for a competitive edge - and Workday is uniquely positioned to help them do that," Lombard said.
"I am thrilled to join the team at this pivotal moment to deepen our regional relationships and support our customers through their digital transformation."
"John’s appointment comes at a critical juncture as APAC organisations increasingly look to AI to elevate employee experiences and optimise financial performance," said Rob Enslin, president and CCO of Workday.
"His deep regional expertise, customer-first mindset, and proven track record of building high-performing teams will be instrumental as we scale our operations and help businesses unlock the full potential of the Workday platform."
