“Braze has a culture of transparency and inclusion that
recognizes how vital its team members are to present and future
achievements, and I’m thrilled to join a company whose values
mirror my own,” said Singh. “I look forward to leading the global
People team and to expanding the company culture that makes Braze
special, while helping propel our mission and values to the next
level.”
