Vancouver, BC - September 20, 2021 -- Hootsuite is pleased to announce that Tiziana Figliolia joined the company today as Chief Financial Officer.

With an international career spanning more than 20 years in technology, Figliolia is a highly respected finance executive known for her ability to build world class finance teams, manage growth, and scale finance operations.

Most recently, Figliolia was the Vice President of Finance at InterDigital Inc., a developer of mobile and video technologies, where she oversaw financial planning and analysis, investor relations, and environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). Before InterDigital, she spent 10 years in Shanghai with two multinational software companies, PTC and Autodesk. She was Senior Vice President of Global Business Operations at PTC, and prior to that she held various senior leadership roles at Autodesk where she orchestrated strategic and financial planning processes during periods of double-digit growth and global recessions, helping grow the company from $800 million to $2.5 billion revenue over a decade.

She is the past president and board advisor of IPWS - International Professional Women’s Society.

“As I continue to build out my executive team I look for talented leaders who not only are experts in their disciplines, but who are growth oriented and embody our guiding principles, and our desire to positively impact communities,” said Tom Keiser, CEO, Hootsuite. “While Tiziana’s impressive experience as a finance professional scaling companies through transformation and high growth is undebatable, she has also proved her dedication to the empowerment of women and girls which together sets her apart as a leader.
