He will drive efforts to strengthen security from data protection to compliance, reinforcing the trust of nearly 1.7 million customers.
"We're thrilled to welcome Michael to the Docusign team," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "As we continue to grow and innovate, Michael's deep expertise will be critical in strengthening our trust and security posture.
