Paula Hansen will join as President and Chief Revenue Officer and Sagnik Nandy will join as Chief Technology Officer

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Docusign (NASDAQ:DOCU) today announced that Paula Hansen will join the company as President and Chief Revenue Officer and Sagnik Nandy will join as Chief Technology Officer on August 5, 2024 — completing the company’s senior leadership team for its next phase of growth. Reporting to Docusign Chief Executive Officer Allan Thygesen, the two new leaders will lead Docusign’s sales and partnership functions and its engineering function, respectively, to fully capitalize on the company’s recently announced expansion into a new SaaS category: Intelligent Agreement Management.

Earlier this year, Docusign unveiled Docusign IAM, an Intelligent Agreement Management platform and suite of applications to lead that category, which rolled out to U.S. customers on May 30, 2024.  Leveraging the deep experience of these two senior leaders in pioneering new innovation and growth at scale, Docusign IAM will help businesses of all kinds transform agreement data into actionable insights, accelerate contract review cycles, and boost productivity organization-wide.

“Docusign’s transformation is well underway as we begin to deliver our new, AI-assisted, IAM platform to customers around the world — and these additions complete the team of impressive senior leaders that will execute that vision,” said Thygesen. “Paula’s growth-focused leadership, combined with her demonstrated ability to execute and deliver value for enterprise customers will be an invaluable asset as we continue to bring Docusign IAM to the global market, while Sagnik’s technical vision and deep enterprise-solutions expertise will help our engineering team scale with increased innovation for this next chapter.”

Paula Hansen will join Docusign as President and Chief Revenue Officer, leading enterprise and commercial sales and partnership teams worldwide.  Most recently, Hansen served as President and Chief Revenue Officer at Alteryx, where she was responsible for leading the global go-to-market (GTM) organization, which includes worldwide sales, sales engineering, partners, marketing, customer experience, customer support and revenue operations.

Earlier, she served in senior sales leadership roles at SAP and Cisco. At Docusign, she’ll partner with Robert Chatwani, President of Growth, and Anwar Akram, Chief Operating Officer, on go-to-market strategies and initiatives.

“Docusign is an iconic company addressing one of the largest remaining white spaces left to tackle in SaaS: Intelligent Agreement Management,” said Hansen. “Poor agreement management and outdated systems cost businesses time, opportunity, and nearly $2 trillion in global economic value every year. Docusign IAM will help change that — driving real business impact for Docusign’s customers, in a way that wasn’t possible before.”

Sagnik Nandy will join Docusign as Chief Technology Officer, leading all aspects of engineering, research and engineering operations. Most recently, Nandy served as President and Chief Development Officer at Okta, where he led product, engineering and design for the Workforce Identity Cloud, which includes their core identity and access management platform. Earlier, he served as a VP of Engineering at Google. At Docusign, Nandy will partner closely with Dmitri Krakovsky, Chief Product Officer, who leads product management and design.

“Docusign is uniquely positioned to offer distinct, AI-assisted solutions that are designed with specific agreement needs and pain points in mind,” said Nandy. “It’s clear Docusign has found a compelling path for innovation that I believe can materially reinvent how business runs for the better. I’m excited to help them do that.”

President of Worldwide Field Operations, Steve Shute, and current Chief Technology Officer, Kamal Hathi, will be leaving Docusign after the end of Q2, ensuring continuity until the new leaders are in place.

“We are very grateful to Steve and Kamal for their significant contributions to the transformation of Docusign over the last several years,” said Thygesen. “Our evolution to Intelligent Agreement Management would not have been possible without their efforts.”

SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary at Davos: GPS Jamming and AI Cyber Threats Now Converge

CEO tells The National that navigation interference and AI vulnerabilities now form a single threat surface for critical systems.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Apr. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ, warned that GPS jamming, GPS spoofing, and AI-enabled cyberattacks are converging into a single operational threat to critical systems. In remarks to The National, Hidary said the threats are no longer separate concerns but overlapping challenges requiring unified resilience.

SandboxAQ addresses both fronts with two technologies: AQNav, which uses the Earth’s magnetic field — the same signal birds and animals navigate by — to deliver resilient positioning, navigation, and timing in GPS-denied environments, and AQtive Guard, which unifies AI security and cryptographic posture management.

GPS interference is shifting from edge case to operational norm:

In June 2025, residents across multiple Middle Eastern countries reported location-service disruptions affecting consumer devices, ships, and aircraft, according to The National.In September 2025, media outlets reported GPS jamming on a flight carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, attributed to Russian interference.

“Recently, there was a plane flying and because it lost GPS because of jamming, the autopilot would not engage,” Hidary said, citing pilot reports of cascading failures inside aircraft systems. AQNav, tested by the US Air Force and several aviation companies, has drawn interest from Middle Eastern airlines.

Hidary linked GPS disruption to a parallel AI threat: “Large language models are also a vector of cyber attack.” He cited nation-state hackers exploiting generative AI tools, plus the Samsung incident, where engineers entered confidential information into ChatGPT.

The WEF’s 2026 Global Risks Report ranks cyber insecurity #6 among short-term global risks, with adverse outcomes of AI technologies showing the sharpest long-term rise — moving from #30 in the two-year outlook to #5 in the ten-year outlook. The report warns that “technological risks are also anticipated to worsen in severity over the next decade.”

OTTAWA, ON, April 28, 2026 /CNW/ – Tech-Access Canada, the national network of Canada’s Technology Access Centres (TACs), welcomes today’s federal Spring Economic Update, which includes an investment of $165 million over five years to extend support for the College and Community Innovation (CCI) Program.

Delivered through Canada’s tri-council research system and administered by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the CCI Program enables businesses to access applied R&D expertise, specialized facilities, and technical services to advance innovation and bring new technologies to market.

This investment will strengthen Canada’s capacity to support commercialisation and productivity by helping businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, accelerate the development, validation, and adoption of new products, processes, and technologies.

“Continued support for the CCI Program reinforces a proven model that connects businesses with the expertise and infrastructure they need to innovate and compete,” said Melanie Ross, Research Chair, Green Building Technology Access Centre, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and Chair of Tech-Access Canada’s Board of Directors. “Technology Access Centres deliver practical, industry-driven solutions that help companies move ideas forward and translate innovation into real economic outcomes.”

Each year, TACs work with thousands of companies across sectors to advance technologies along the commercialisation pathway from early-stage validation through to deployment and scale-up. By providing objective, non-dilutive support, TACs help companies make informed decisions, avoid costly missteps, and accelerate time-to-market.

“This investment helps ensure that innovation developed in Canada stays in Canada,” said Ken Doyle, Executive Director of Tech-Access Canada. “TACs help companies commercialise here at home reducing risk, accelerating time to market, and driving real outcomes. As Canadian firms scale and export globally, that success returns to the Canadian economy.”

Tech-Access Canada’s network includes more than 70 Technology Access Centres located across the country, providing businesses with access to over 2,100 applied R&D experts, millions of square feet of specialized facilities, and hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment and infrastructure.
