Yuan added how “the uncertainty of the global economy, and its effect on our customers, means we need to take a hard – yet important – look inward to reset ourselves so we can weather the economic environment, deliver for our customers and achieve Zoom’s long-term vision.”
Yuan says he is reducing his own salary for the coming fiscal year by 98% and foregoing his FY23 corporate bonus. Additionally, members of his executive leadership team will reduce their base salaries by 20% for the coming fiscal year while also forfeiting their FY23 corporate bonuses.
