PALO
ALTO, Calif., July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HiHello, the world's first
software platform for digital brand and identity, is thrilled to
announce the addition of Shana
Simmons and Eugenio Pace to
its Board of Directors. Their appointments bring unparalleled
expertise and strategic vision to HiHello as the company continues
its mission to revolutionize professional networking with an
enterprise-ready platform for modern digital business cards.
Shana Simmons, who
recently joined Zendesk as Chief Legal Officer, brings over 15
years of experience in legal leadership and corporate governance.
Prior to Zendesk, Shana served as Chief Legal Officer at Everlaw, a
cloud-based e-discovery software company. At Everlaw, she built and
led the legal team, driving the company's strategic growth while
effectively managing risk. Shana's career also includes a
significant tenure at Google Cloud (Nasdaq: GOOG), where she played
a key role in its global market expansion. Her deep understanding
of technology and legal strategy and her commitment to diversity
and inclusion make her an invaluable addition to the HiHello board.
"I am excited to join the HiHello board because of the
intentionality Manu and his team bring to cultivating a
people-first approach, innovative product, and transformative
company culture. Their vision is truly making HiHello a movement,"
said Ms. Simmons. Dr. Manu Kumar, Co-founder and CEO of
HiHello, remarked, "Having worked closely with Shana during her
time at Everlaw, I am confident that her insights and leadership
will greatly benefit HiHello as we navigate our next phase of
growth."
Eugenio Pace, co-founder
and CEO of Auth0, which was acquired by Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) for
$6.5 billion, joins HiHello's board,
bringing a wealth of experience in identity and access management.
Under Eugenio's leadership, Auth0 became a leading identity
platform, providing secure access solutions to businesses
worldwide. Dr. Manu Kumar, who was
an investor in Auth0 and served as a board observer, expressed his
excitement about Eugenio's new role at HiHello: "I had the pleasure
of advising Eugenio in the early days of Auth0 and saw him scale
the company to hundreds of millions in revenue and to a successful
exit to Okta. Today, Eugenio could be on the board of any company
he wanted, and it's an absolute honor and privilege for me to learn
from him as we scale HiHello." Mr. Pace added, "I am honored to
serve on HiHello's board, as an opportunity to work closely with
Manu again, bringing a great product to the market."
The addition of Shana Simmons and
Eugenio Pace to the board
underscores HiHello's commitment to leveraging top-tier talent to
drive innovation and growth. Their combined experience in legal
strategy, corporate governance, and technology leadership will
provide invaluable guidance as HiHello becomes the software
platform of choice for digital business cards and email signatures
for a growing number of individuals, small businesses, and
enterprise companies.
