Plume board expansion with tech veterans

Salesforce founding board member Magdalena Yesil, former Medallia executive vice president and CFO Roxanne Oulman and former Comcast CTO Tony Werner have been appointed as independent directors to its board.

"As a founder and entrepreneur, I not only look for great technology that customers love, and a talented team, but also the opportunity to create an entirely new category," Yesil says.

"Plume has created a new category that is redefining consumer experiences in smart spaces, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this ambitious group of people."

​"Looking through the lens of cloud services and finance, I was very impressed with the high growth SaaS business Plume has built to date," Oulman says.

"I am thrilled about the opportunity to collaborate closely with such a talented team, and look forward to rolling up my sleeves to help them hyper-scale across a number of vectors," she adds.

"I've long shared Fahri's vision, and appreciated Plume's ambitions in reconstructing residential and small business service bundles," Werner says.

"Today, over 95% of home devices, ranging from personal computers, e-readers and tablets to the exploding number of IoT hardware,  connect to broadband over WiFi.

"The one thing they all have in common is the critical need for high performance, reliable and consistent connectivity over an unlicensed, wireless spectrum.

"Plume is revolutionising connectivity and the smart home experience with an open platform, hardware agnostic approach.

"I am excited to continue partnering with Fahri, and help the Plume team achieve their goals in transforming smart spaces globally."

"I couldn't be more excited and honored to welcome Magdalena, Roxanne and Tony to Plume," Plume founder and CEO Fahri Diner says.

"They each bring unique skill sets, professional networks, and valuable perspectives to help propel us to new heights."
