Colleen Rodriguez

Head of Corporate Affairs
Zoom
US

 

Colleen Rodriguez joined Zoom as global PR lead just weeks into the Covid pandemic, which also was the brink of the video call platform exploding as people started working from home. Since then, Zoom has grown into a household term and Rodriguez’s role has grown, too; she is now head of global PR and executive communications.

In the time since, Rodriguez has been at the forefront of maintaining Zoom’s reputation as it finds its footing post-pandemic amid the likes of Zoom fatigue, layoffs and employee backlash to its hybrid return-to-work policy. Before Zoom, Rodriguez logged roughly 15 years working at tech companies in senior comms roles. During nine-plus years at Adobe, Rodriguez led corporate PR. Earlier in her career, Rodriguez was Seagate Technology’s senior manager of corporate marketing & communications and a Porter Novelli manager.
