Slack has appointed Pip White as its new SVP and General Manager for EMEA.

The appointment sees White re-join Salesforce, which acquired Slack for $27.7bn earlier this year. She previously held senior leadership positions at the company before joining Google Cloud last year as Managing Director for the UK&I. She has also spent thirteen years at HPE, holding a number of roles throughout her tenure there.

White announced the news of her new job at Slack on her Linked In page.

β€œThere’s no question that over the last 18 months we’ve seen the importance of remote collaboration and finding a new normal for work and we aren’t going back to how things were,” she wrote.

β€œI believeΒ SlackΒ andΒ SalesforceΒ are uniquely positioned to define what work means.

β€œIn my new role as EMEA leader, I’m looking forward to the exciting product roadmap, of bringing the benefits of Slack and Salesforce to customers – new and existing – working in a new way and, of course, the great group of people who believe as passionately as I do about the transformative power of technology”
