SEATTLE, Sept. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Slalom, the global business and technology consulting company, today announced Michelle Grover will join the company on October 1 as its first Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Michelle brings to Slalom an impressive technical background, including previous leadership positions as Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Twilio, and Senior Vice President of Software Development for TripIt and Mobile at SAP Concur.

In her new role, Michelle will be responsible for developing IT strategy, growing IT expertise to support Slalom’s business and expansion goals, and evaluating opportunities for the company to learn from and enable its own partner technologies.
“As we evolve, scale, and expand our global footprint, our own internal technology needs have become increasingly complex,” said Tony Rojas, Slalom President, to whom Michelle will report. “We have thousands of team members and clients worldwide who are engaged with technology and operating at the pace of innovation. Michelle is the kind of leader that can quickly identify opportunities and deliver simple solutions for complicated issues. We’re lucky to have her onboard.”
As CTO, Michelle will oversee the technology organization, including infrastructure, product engineering, and architecture, with the goal of empowering Slalom teams around the world to deliver outcomes that build better tomorrows for all.
