Cursor has appointed Pete Short as its regional vice president for Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) amid a strategic pivot toward Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). This move comes weeks after Simon Green was appointed president for APJ earlier this month. Short, who previously worked at Apple’s A/NZ product marketing team from June 2015 to November 2024, joins the role following a career break. He also held senior roles at NetApp and Dell Technologies. Short emphasizes the importance of technology and talent in driving business transformation, stating he brings both experience and a vision for Cursor’s ecosystem. Green highlights the combination of commercial acumen, customer obsession, and regional expertise that will benefit the company and its partners. This appointment underscores a broader trend of leadership shifts aimed at fostering innovation and deepening connections with customers across the region.
