Zoom Video Communications Inc. has named Cheree McAlpine its chief legal officer, nearly four years after its former top lawyer Aparna Bawa was promoted to chief operating officer.

McAlpine, most recently general counsel for software startup Intercom Inc., said she joined Zoom as of March 4 and will be its top in-house lawyer going forward, with Bawa focused solely on her role as COO.

“Zoom is revolutionizing collaboration and shaping how the world works,” McAlpine said in an email about her decision to join the San Jose, Calif.-based company. “It’s an exciting time to join and lead the legal and compliance team.”

Prior to Intercom she spent nearly four years as the top lawyer for Lumileds Holding BV, a lighting component company acquired in 2017 by Apollo Global Management Inc. Lumileds went bankrupt in 2022.
