On September 18, global payroll and HR platform Deel welcomed seasoned board member and executive, Todd Ford, to its Board of Directors, Silicon UK reports.

Mr Ford’s diverse professional experience includes taking multiple companies public and serving as joint President and CFO at Coupa Software for eight years. 

More recently he led financial operations and investor relations at enterprise companies and venture capital firms including MobileIron, Rackable, and Broken Arrow Capital, reportedly spending his career at the forefront of tech innovation and growth. 

Mr Ford currently serves on the boards of Hashicorp, 8×8, and Arctic Wolf – companies that are reshaping their respective industries.

Deel said that, in addition to extensive expertise in corporate governance and private-to-public corporate transitions, a stand-out quality is his passion for building great companies and mentoring the next generation of business leaders. 

Mr Ford said, “What drew me to Deel – in addition to an impressive growth story and two years of profitability at such a young age – was the perfect combination of driven leadership, strong company culture, and an innovative global platform that stands out in the market. Deel meets the most pressing needs of globally minded companies today; not to mention that the vision, potential, and market opportunity are enormous. I can’t wait to add value and be part of the journey.”

“Our global-first approach, speed to market, and unique focus on owning our own tech and infrastructure have driven Deel’s success in our first five years,” Philippe Bouaziz - Deel CFO - said, “And as we look to the future, Todd’s experience across corporate governance, investor relations and navigating public markets will be invaluable.”
