GoTo Appoints new Chief People Officer and CISO
GoTo, the company making
IT management, support, and business communication easy with flagship
products GoTo Resolve, Rescue, and GoTo Connect, announced the promotion of Meredith Hawkins to
Chief People Officer and the appointment of Attila Török to Chief Information
Security Officer (CISO).
Meredith succeeds Jo Deal, who served as Chief People Officer at GoTo
for over six years. Jo is leaving the company to spend more time with her
family. Previously serving as thecompany’s Vice President and Head of Global
People Partners, Meredith joined GoTo in 2019 after holding senior leadership
positions at TripAdvisor, Akamai Technologies, and Staples, among others. Her
nearly 20 years in human resources include deep experience in talent
management, leadership development, performance management, and succession
planning, making her well-equipped for her new role.
“Meredith has played a pivotal role in the development of GoTo’s culture
and community over the past four years, spearheading several initiatives that
helped to build GoTo career paths and cultivate a growth mindset with our
leaders and employees,” says Paddy Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer of GoTo.
“We view our people and culture to be essential for the success of the
business, and Meredith’s professional development journey is a testament to the
internal mobility at GoTo. I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside
Meredith to continue to build and evolve GoTo’s great culture of over 3,000
global employees.”
Bolstering the company’s security leadership team, Attila Török returns
to GoTo as the newly appointed CISO, having previously held leadership positions
within the company’s security department from 2014 to 2019. Attila played a key
role in his first tenure (then known as LogMeIn),
building the company’s security function before leaving to serve as Zapier’s
Head of Security. In his new role at GoTo, Attila will be responsible for the
security of internal systems and products, safeguarding GoTo’s information
assets.
“We are delighted to have Attila return to GoTo. Security is and always
has been a top priority of our company. With an ever-evolving security
landscape, it’s more important than ever that we have a strong leader dedicated
to safeguarding our information assets and leading us into a secure future,”
says Olga Lagunova, Chief Technology Officer of GoTo. “Attila’s expertise in
cloud and product security and his proven record of seamlessly integrating
security in all aspects of the product development process make him ideally
suited to lead GoTo as we deepen our commitment to providing our customers with
best-in-industry innovative and secure SaaS products.”
