May 28 2020 - 9:00AM
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced that
Damien Hooper-Campbell will join the company as its first Chief
Diversity Officer, effective June 1, 2020. Hooper-Campbell brings
over 15 years of expertise in diversity and inclusion, leadership
and management coaching, recruiting, community engagement, and
finance to this role. He was most recently the Chief Diversity
Officer for eBay, and previously was Global Head of Diversity for
Uber and a Diversity Strategist at Google. Hooper-Campbell will
lead the design and implementation of Zoom’s global diversity and
inclusion strategy with a focus on its current and future employees
and its products. He will also be responsible for establishing
Zoom’s university recruiting program and initiatives.
Zoom is committed to maintaining an equal, respectful, and
inclusive environment on its platform for all users regardless of
background. The company is equally invested in ensuring that
diversity and inclusion are central to its internal culture and
organization. Hooper-Campbell will help Zoom build on its
foundational efforts to date, which include company-wide inclusion
education, employee resource groups, and inclusive hiring
initiatives.
“Our core value as a company is to care – we care for our
community, our customers, our company, our teammates, and
ourselves. Damien embodies this key part of our culture. Not only
does he care deeply, he puts it into action, building programs and
relationships, and developing initiatives that reflect that value.
Diversity and inclusion are everyone’s responsibility, but I know
that Damien will work with all of us to make Zoom an innovator in
this area, which will make our culture, platform, and communities
even stronger,” said Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom.
“I was first drawn to the virtual, yet authentic and human
connections that Zoom’s platform is enabling around the world. It
is this level of human connectivity that sits at the heart of
diversity and inclusion. In spending time with the Zoom team, I can
tell that this is a group of people who place the value of caring
for their communities, their customers, and each other at the
forefront of the decisions they make for Zoom and its products.
This value of care is a key component to the empathy and
vulnerability needed to drive meaningful diversity and inclusion
efforts. There is an opportunity to not only help make the
organization more diverse and inclusive, but also to make the Zoom
platform one that acknowledges and incorporates the needs and
backgrounds of the hundreds of millions of participants who use it
daily. I look forward to partnering with the rest of the Zoom team
and valued external partners to make this a reality,” said
Hooper-Campbell.
