Geri Huibregtse has been promoted to the new role of Chief Product Officer and Nora Guerrera has been hired as Director of Design Strategy.
“In 2021, Foundry reached several new milestones on our growth journey, including being one of the fastest-growing private companies in Minnesota, expanding our footprint to New York, and becoming a more diverse workforce. By continuing our investment in great talent, we are poised to continue this momentum and deliver on what’s shaping up to be the most exciting chapter in our history,” said Kurt Schmidt, president and partner, Foundry.
As Chief Product Officer, Huibregtse will lead Foundry’s continued pursuit to design and build digital experiences that transform companies.
