Singapore Artificial Intelligence Firm Hires Former Salesforce Executive to Lead Latin American Expansion
Singapore, Saturday, 26 September 2026.
Singapore-based Quantum Heaps appointed former Salesforce executive Roman Romancini to lead its Latin American expansion in September 2026, marking the artificial intelligence firm’s growth into its fourth global region.
Strategic Leadership Appointment in Latin America
Singapore-headquartered enterprise AI and revenue technology company Quantum Heaps announced the appointment of former Salesforce executive Roman Romancini as President for Latin America in late September 2026 [1][2]. This strategic leadership move marks the company’s formal expansion into the Latin American market, establishing a physical operating footprint alongside its existing presence across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific [1][4]. As enterprises globally accelerate investments in revenue technology and automation, Romancini will spearhead regional enterprise sales, operational scaling, and market penetration [1]. The appointment was highlighted across multiple channels, with LinkedIn posts from the company and CEO Harsh Panwar confirming the leadership change around September 23, 2026, while press wires dated the formal announcement to September 26, 2026 [2][5].
Regional Expansion and Operational Footprint
With Latin America added to North America, EMEA, and Asia, the company now operates as a multinational revenue technology company with senior leadership in four distinct regions [1][2]. This expansion follows recent appointments of a global Chief Marketing Officer and Presidents for North America and EMEA occurring in early September 2026 [1][4]. Quantum Heaps utilizes its Unified Revenue Engine platform, powered by Agent Q, which consolidates prospecting, pipeline management, conversation intelligence, forecasting, and commissions onto a single data model [1]. The company intends to leverage the high rate of technology adoption in Latin American markets to drive company growth, targeting enterprise adoption of AI-native architecture [2][3].
Executive Background and Industry Experience
Roman Romancini brings over 25 years of experience from Ericsson, Nokia, Oracle, and Salesforce to the role [1][3]. His tenure at Salesforce spanned approximately 5 years, where he held roles as Regional VP and Senior Regional VP for Brazil, Area VP for Sales in Latin America, and VP of Sales for Salesforce Industries across EMEA and Latin America [1][2]. During his time at Salesforce, his teams won awards for the World’s Largest Cloud Deal and Latin America’s Largest Transformational Deal [2][4]. Romancini trained in physics before moving into sales and general management, bringing a technical foundation to his commercial leadership [2].
Market Strategy and Future Outlook
Romancini stated that Latin American companies are some of the fastest adopters of new technology in the world, and he believes this region can become one of Quantum Heaps’ strongest growth markets [1][3]. He noted that revenue teams in Latin America often pay for complexity with too many tools and integrations, which Quantum Heaps aims to fix at the architecture level [3][4]. CEO Harsh Panwar emphasized that while Quantum Heaps was founded in Singapore, it was never built to stay there, highlighting a strategy of global ambition with local leadership [2][4]. The company is actively executing a market penetration strategy in Latin America, though no specific completion deadline for this expansion phase has been publicly provided [1][alert! ‘No specific completion deadline provided in sources’].
