I’m thrilled to share that Spectrum Labs is adding new leaders, one to our board of directors and two advisors. As we work toward our vision of making the Internet a safer and more valuable place for all, it is important that we bring people in who are passionate about the same things we are; diversity, trust in data safety and privacy, and security covering Trust & Safety efforts.
At Spectrum Labs, we know that to effectively make the Internet a safer and more valuable place for all, we must incorporate the lived experience of diverse groups and surround ourselves with those with vast experience in the field across various vantage points.
First, I’m proud to share the appointment of Lakshmi Hanspal to Spectrum Labs’ Board of Directors. Lakshmi is the Chief Security Officer at Box, where she is responsible for building trusted products, and operating trusted environments across customer, corporate, physical, and cybersecurity domains. With more than 25 years of experience, she is a proven, customer-focused global leader in both the security and privacy space.
