SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU) today announced that Michael Adams has joined the company as the new Group Vice President (GVP) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). With extensive experience leading security strategies across business, technology, and government sectors, Adams will lead Docusign security initiatives as the company scales its intelligent agreement management solutions globally. He will drive efforts to strengthen security from data protection to compliance, reinforcing the trust of nearly 1.7 million customers.

"We're thrilled to welcome Michael to the Docusign team," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "As we continue to grow and innovate, Michael's deep expertise will be critical in strengthening our trust and security posture.
