NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UiPath, the leading enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software company, today announced the appointment of Michael Gordon, COO and CFO of MongoDB, and Kim Hammonds, senior advisor and non-executive director to several technology companies, to its Board of Directors. The appointments expand the UiPath Board to include eight members, a prestigious group of seasoned business and technology executives from world-leading venture capital and Fortune 500 firms.

“COVID-19 has heightened the critical need of automation to address challenges and create value in days and weeks, not months and years.

He has a strong background in finance, strategy, and business operations and a track record of helping high-growth companies scale successfully. Previously, he was COO and CFO at Yodle, where he was responsible for the strategic and operational management of all aspects of finance and business operations, business development, reseller programs, corporate development, and legal affairs. Gordon is on the Board of Directors of Share Our Strength, one of the nation’s leading anti-hunger organizations.

“The rapid growth UiPath has experienced is supported by an outstanding team, an innovative solution, and a customer-first mindset,” said Gordon. “I’ve known Daniel for over two years and have followed the company’s success. As UiPath expands its solutions further into cloud, managed services, and SaaS offerings, I am excited to bring my perspectives to their business strategies and go-to-market efforts.”

Hammonds is currently a senior advisor and non-executive director to several technology companies. She is the founder of Mangrove Digital Group, which provides technology and business transformation expertise to technology CEOs. She currently serves on the boards of several high-profile organizations including Zoom Video Communications, Box, and Tenable, and was a past board member of RedHat and Cloudera.
