Ease Announces Executive Hires to Support Next Stage of Company Growth

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ease, a leading HR and benefits software solution for small businesses, insurance brokers and insurance carriers, today announced the appointment of Timothy Low as Chief Marketing Officer, and Terressa DeHaven as VP of Legal & Compliance to support the company's next stage of growth.

Following its Series C funding round announced in March 2021, Ease continues to experience milestone momentum driven by the acceleration of digital transformation in the HR & benefits industry, stemming from the pandemic.

"With Tim and Terressa's proven success in their past roles and with their remarkable leadership capabilities, we're pleased to welcome them to Ease's executive team," said Ease's CEO and co-founder, David Reid. "Their veteran experience and steadfast passion for transforming the insurance and benefits administration industry make them essential assets to Ease's future."

Prior to joining Ease, Tim has spent his career in B2B software, including product and marketing roles at Microsoft and Oracle. He built a team to power growth as SVP of Marketing at PayScale. His experience includes brand development, demand generation, product marketing and overall go to market strategy. Tim has led several SaaS companies through rapid growth using data-driven marketing and a passion for creativity that makes an impact. At Ease, Tim will focus on building the company's brand story, implementing strategic campaigns and sales enablement, and overseeing the customer and partner experience to ensure long term business success.

"The shift to remote work heightened demand for innovative insurtech solutions, as employers and brokers alike seek to meet the rapidly changing needs of their employees and groups," said Tim Low, Chief Marketing Officer at Ease. "Innovation has been at the core of Ease since its genesis, and I'm thrilled to be part of the team that's helping facilitate benefits that employees want and making the benefits experience simple and maybe even fun."

Terressa DeHaven joins Ease with more than a decade of legal and compliance experience. Her hiring comes on the heels of Ease receiving its HITRUST certification, demonstrating the company's software has met key regulations and industry-defined requirements for data privacy and security. Terressa brings a holistic understanding of how decisions impact business top down, and a collaborative approach to corporate governance. At Ease, she will oversee the legal and compliance teams, and end-to-end regulatory functions including data privacy and protection. She also serves as a strategic lead to ensure new product compliance, and will manage Ease's risk profile appropriately as it changes. Terressa has previously held positions at top companies in the payments and benefits space, including management and executive roles at PayPal, Wurk, and Zenefits. 

"Data privacy compliance is a core pillar of business continuity and success today," said Terressa DeHaven, VP of Legal and Compliance. "I look forward to collaborating with Ease's decision makers to ensure that as we grow, we remain committed to protecting our customers." 

Both hires, which were preceded by the appointment of Mari Kemp, SVP of HR in June, support Ease's mission to strategically diversify and grow the company's employee base. Ease's commitment to the employee experience continues to be recognized by the industry, including being recently awarded the Stevie Awards for HR Technology Solution Provider of the Year.
