BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, immersive well-being software leader Limeade announced another milestone in leadership with the appointment of Kathy Xanthos and the promotion of Sarah Visbeek. Ms. Xanthos joins as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), and Ms. Visbeek was promoted to General Counsel and retains her role as Corporate Secretary. With a commitment to hiring the best talent to bolster its leadership bench and employee base, Limeade continues to lead the industry in gender equity at every level of the business.

Earlier this year, Limeade announced that women makeup 51% of the employee population and 48% of director-level and above leadership roles. To further its commitment to gender diversity, the company is reporting 57% representation of women on its Board of Directors.
