Rudelle Arnaud has been instrumental in Sendinblue’s move to sign a parity agreement in France, which promises to accelerate gender equality among startups. Sendinblue is one of 69 companies that has committed to increase the threshold of women on boards of directors to 20 percent, drive internal education sessions to combat discrimination, and publish job descriptions that are amenable to both men and women.

“Laure’s experience and character are exactly what we were looking for in a CPIO that will take the helm of Sendinblue’s employee management and impact strategy,” added Steffen Schebesta, CEO of North America and VP of Corporate Development at Sendinblue. “Laure will play a crucial role as we look to round out our C-suite amid our rapid growth in North America, our fastest-growing market. It’s an exciting time for all of us.”

In addition to hiring a new CPIO, Sendinblue recently hired a new Chief Operating Officer, and has acquired four companies in the last eight months, which have expanded the company’s digital marketing and e-commerce offerings for SMBs, all of which have contributed to Sendinblue’s rapid growth trajectory. Sendinblue is also expanding its company footprint, seeking talent to fill more than 60 roles.
