Drawbridge, a cybersecurity software and solutions provider to the alternative investment industry, has announced several senior appointments, including a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hire.
Darrell Tucker is Drawbridge’s new Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The firm’s former Head of Client Success will “design, build and lead” the newly created Office of DEI, which is part of Drawbridge’s mission to become an inclusive employer and nurturer of top talent.
His new position shows the value of appointing existing diverse talent to impactful roles. As DEI head, Tucker will partner with Drawbridge’s Human Resources team and hiring managers to ensure the company promotes an inclusive culture and attracts the best talent from a diverse talent pool.
Other new promotions and appointments include two figures with entrepreneurial backgrounds in tech. Bill Waters is Global Head of Software Development and will drive technological innovation and launch new products for Drawbridge. He was Co-founder and VP, Engineering at Simplicita Software.
Jacob Cane is Global Head of Strategy and Client Success and was previously Head of Strategy at the firm. In his new role, he will focus on managing global client engagement, enhancing customer experience and driving success for Drawbridge’s client base. He was the Founder of Proactive Technologies, which served alternative investment clients.
Jason Elmer, Founder and CEO of Drawbridge, said: “Our incredibly talented team has been the cornerstone of Drawbridge’s success since our launch and is what enables us to deliver our market-defining software products and services and exceptional customer experiences.
“We are committed to recruiting, retaining and developing diverse talent as we continue our rapid growth by creating an open environment that fosters collaboration, performance and shared success.
