Document management and e-signature software vendor Docusign has added two senior leaders to drive its development of SaaS-based intelligent agreement management (IAM).
Allan Thygesen, chief executive officer at Docusign, said a company “transformation” is well underway as it delivers its AI-assisted IAM platform launched in May.
“These additions complete the team of impressive senior leaders that will execute that vision,” he said in the announcement.
Paula Hansen joins as president and chief revenue officer, Sagnik Nandy as chief technology officer (CTO), from 5 August at the US headquartered vendor of Docusign IAM contract lifecycle management (CLM) and Docusign eSignature.
“Hansen’s growth-focused leadership and ability to execute and deliver value for enterprise customers will be invaluable as we bring Docusign IAM to the global market, while Nandy’s technical vision and enterprise solutions expertise will help our engineering team scale with increased innovation,” Thygesen added.
Docusign IAM is a SaaS-based platform and applications suite that rolled out to US customers on 30 May 30. The idea is to help businesses “of all kinds” transform agreement data into actionable insights, accelerate contract review cycles, and boost productivity, according to the vendor.
Hansen will lead enterprise and commercial sales and partnership teams worldwide. Previously she worked in a global go-to-market leadership role at analytics platform provider Alteryx across global sales, sales engineering, partners, marketing, customer experience, customer support and revenue operations, it said.
“Poor agreement management and outdated systems cost businesses time, opportunity, and nearly $2 trillion (£1.6trn) in global economic value every year. Docusign IAM will help change that,” Hansen was quoted as saying.
IAM is “one of the largest remaining white spaces left to tackle in SaaS”, she added.
Nandy hails from Okta, where as president and chief development officer he led product, engineering and design for their core identity and access management platform, according to Docusign.
Nandy said Docusign would aim to offer AI-assisted solutions that meet specific agreement needs and pain points.
Docusign could “materially reinvent how business runs for the better”, he was quoted as saying.
The vendor posits that e-signing, preparing, acting on and managing agreements digitally, especially incorporating automation, can improve both customer and employee experiences as well as support growth.
For instance, companies can speed up search and review of documents, increasing accuracy and breadth of handing as well as quickly responding to document-related enquiries.
Current president of worldwide field operations Steve Shute and CTO Kamal Hathi are expected to leave Docusign “after the end” of Q2.
