Press | 11-08-25
Zip Water, part of the Culligan Group, is pleased to announce key leadership appointments that
will position the business for continued growth and global alignment across its APAC and
international operations.
John Doumani, President of Culligan APAC and Zip International, has officially stepped down
from his current executive role. John has played an instrumental role in leading the growth and
transformation of the business over the past decade, with a legacy defined by strategic
expansion, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
While retiring from day-to-day operations, John will remain closely involved with the business as
he assumes the role of Chairman of Zip Global. In this new advisory capacity, John will focus
on aligning and championing the Zip opportunity across Culligan’s global network, continuing to
report to the President & Group CEO.
In line with this transition, Mike Abbott has been promoted to President of Culligan ANZ and
Zip International. Mike, who has led Zip Water ANZ as Managing Director since 2022, will now
expand his leadership to include Culligan Australia and Zip UK. Since joining the business in
2020 as Marketing and Strategy Director for Zip ANZ, Mike has driven strategic growth and
achieved strong commercial results. His appointment reflects his outstanding leadership,
strategic vision, and significant contributions over the past five years.
Zip Water extends its deepest thanks to John Doumani for his remarkable service and looks
forward to his continued guidance as Chairman of Zip Global. We also congratulate Mike Abbott
on his well-deserved promotion as he steps into this expanded leadership role.
