“Current business systems still don’t put the power where it needs to be—in the hands of the people who know the problems and challenges best. Formstack is flipping the script by building a platform that simplifies data collection and empowers people to act on the information they collect,” said Dustin Sapp, COO of Formstack. “This innovative approach requires an equally innovative team, and I am excited to have Joan, Rob and Nathan bring their talents to Formstack.”
