Michael Tiffany, White Ops’ Co-founder, will transition to the role of President, where he will double down on driving rapid product innovation and evangelizing the company’s vision and culture.
“As White Ops continued to hit certain revenue milestones, I felt strongly that the requirements for the CEO role changed significantly,” said Michael Tiffany, President and Co-founder of White Ops. “It was important to me, our executive team and the board that we bring in a seasoned leader who can partner with me, exemplify our unique culture and steer and scale our business. Sandeep fits that mold beautifully.”
“White Ops’ leapfrog technology innovations have helped us grow at an incredible rate and see significant traction in the market,” said Tamer Hassan, CTO and Co-founder, White Ops. “We are very excited to combine Michael’s deep technical knowledge and evangelism for White Ops with Sandeep’s strategic and operational chops in scaling growth-stage businesses.”
