“We’re thrilled to welcome Garry Tan to TigerEye’s board of directors,” said Tracy Young, CEO at TigerEye. “He has a proven record of leadership and a real passion for helping to nurture tomorrow’s world-changing companies. We will leverage his knowledge and insights, along with our own experiences founding PlanGrid, as we build sales solutions that will help companies make better strategic decisions.”
