“It is hard to believe that a little more than a decade ago, Rafael and I were hiring our first employees, closing our first customers, and beginning to execute against our vision for WalkMe,” said Adika. “He is a dear friend and colleague, and will always be one of the industry’s biggest visionaries and evangelists. I am also excited to appoint Michele Bettencourt as Board Chairperson. I’m pleased to expand her responsibilities and further tap her expertise in operationalizing software businesses. She has been a very active member of our Board and a tremendous resource to me personally over the past two years. I’m thrilled to work even closer with Michele to drive WalkMe’s next phase of growth.”
