Logicalis expands Paras Chadha’s remit to include A/NZ

Logicalis has expanded the remit of Paras Chadha’s role as head of business, Microsoft, and artificial intelligence (AI) – Asia Pacific (APAC) to include the Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) region.

Chadha has held the role of head of business, Microsoft, and AI – APAC since March last year, driving strategic growth and innovation across the region. 

His expanded leadership reflects Logicalis’ strategic investment in strengthening local capability and regional growth, bringing together Asia and A/NZ under one unified Microsoft and AI strategy in APAC.

He will be responsible for driving growth and alignment between regional and global go-to-market strategies for Microsoft and AI business, with a focus on secure innovation, customer-centric transformation, and accelerating Microsoft solutions adoption across the pillars of cybersecurity, cloud and AI solutions, and AI business solutions.

Paras will play a key role in strengthening that partnership across the region. His leadership will support the rollout of emerging Microsoft solutions, including Fabric and Copilot.

“Paras’s appointment comes at a time when demand for AI integration and intelligent automation is surging across industries,” Logicalis Australia general manager Lisa Fortey said. 

“Organisations are increasingly seeking expert partners who can guide secure deployment, mitigate risk, and align AI investments to business outcomes. Paras’s experience in scaling Microsoft-led transformation across complex markets equips Logicalis to meet this growing demand with deep technical insight and strategic foresight.”

Chadha said Logicalis was entering a period of growth as it scales its capabilities, offerings, and comprehensive services for Microsoft and AI. 

“There is enormous potential to help businesses in the region adopt and transform into AI-driven organisations with a secure, scalable foundation. Being based in Australia will allow me to leverage my deep understanding of local customer priorities, from healthcare to local councils, and apply these A/NZ insights to both APAC and global strategy,” Chadha said. 

“I’m looking forward to further incorporating the A/NZ region into the broader APAC strategy to create a more unified and connected approach for our customers and partners like Microsoft.”
