NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Software Report is pleased to announce the Top 50 Women Leaders in SaaS of 2021. A commonality found among high-performing executive teams is the presence of women in key roles. This year's awardees have made a definitive and lasting impact on their organizations, from spearheading cloud adoption pushes to espousing diversity in the workplace to driving overall company growth. The COVID-19 era has compelled many businesses to accelerate their adoption and roll-out of cloud-based software solutions, and these women have enabled their companies to meet the challenge presented by this surge in demand.
Faiza Hughell, the Chief Customer Officer of RingCentral, has steadily built and scaled over nine years multiple teams across the sales organization, including sales development, BDR, and solutions engineering. Meanwhile, Kathleen Waid, Chief Revenue Officer of Prove, has been a huge factor in the recent, pandemic-driven resurgence of QR technology, uncovering a potent customer-onboarding tool with her company's QR Pre-fill offering. On the corporate responsibility front, AppsFlyer's Chief People Officer Lisa Zaythik has made major strides by establishing the company's social impact center AppsFlyer Cares.
These women leaders were chosen based on their demonstrated leadership capabilities, career track record, and quantifiable contributions to the SaaS industry. Hundreds of nomination forms including substantive feedback from peers and colleagues were reviewed. This, combined with additional internal research, supported the selection process. Please join us in acknowledging the notable achievements of the Top 50 Women Leaders in SaaS of 2021.
