July 7, 2022, MINNEAPOLIS and COPENHAGEN, Denmark- Siteimprove, the leading enterprise platform that transforms content into revenue, today announces that Dr. Judith Michelle Williams, co-founder of the human resources information platform Sugarwork, Inc. and former Global Head of People and Sustainability at SAP, will be joining the company’s Board of Directors. As a metrics-driven diversity strategist, Dr. Williams brings her expertise in delivering exceptional cross-functional outcomes across the organizations she leads and advises. 

“The Siteimprove team is thrilled to welcome Dr. Williams to the Board of Directors, with her impressive background of developing diverse and inclusive cultures and leadership accountability across global enterprise organizations,” said Shane Paladin, CEO of Siteimprove. “Siteimprove’s core ethos is built around building an accessible Internet for all and her counsel will be invaluable as we continue to deliver upon that goal, both externally and internally.” 

With more than twenty years global human resources and cross-cultural diversity experience, Dr. Williams has been successful in building and developing diverse talent pipelines, creating inclusive cultures, and building leadership accountability for all talent outcomes. While at SAP, she was responsible for building and maintaining a healthy and inclusive culture for more than 100,000 global employees and led both the Global Health and Wellbeing Team and Global Diversity and Inclusion Office.

I look forward to working collaboratively with the Siteimprove Board to provide guidance on how to sustain the culture of inclusivity that Siteimprove has built for its employees and users.”
