The company said the new members represent diverse positions throughout Silicon Valley in the subscription billing and SaaS industries, and will provide guidance to Zuora's executive team on a broad range of areas.
"Our mission is to do for the subscription industry what Amazon and PayPal have done for online retailing and payments - make it easy and accessible, so that any company can offer subscriptions online," said Tien Tzuo, CEO of Zuora. "Now, we've put together a board of well respected advisors with the right background and experience to help us achieve our vision. With their guidance, we'll continue to develop the killer apps companies need to build, manage and grow subscription businesses."
The advisory board members include:
Elizabeth Tse, eBay: VP, Global Billing, Payments and Collections. Tse is responsible for overseeing billing operations at eBay, the online marketplace. Tse has held similar executive level positions with Providian Financial (now Washington Mutual) and American Express.
David Welsh, Adams Street Partners: Partner. As a partner at Adams Street, a private equity firm, Welsh focuses on investing in a variety of technology companies that show promise to impact entire industries. At McAfee, Welsh oversaw the strategy and development of bringing SaaS solutions to users of every size and security need. Welsh also headed corporate development for online billing company Portal Software where he helped grow the company from a start-up to over $200 million in revenue per year.
Dan Halabe, Accenture: Former Partner. In addition to his position with Accenture, Halabe was a leader of several large-scale billing and development projects at media and telecom companies including Electronic Arts, Hongkong Telecom, Netscape and Sony Computer Entertainment.
Michael Everett, Cisco: Vice President of Finance. Everett is currently a vice president of finance at Cisco and was the chief financial officer at on-demand collaboration leader WebEx before its $3.2 billion acquisition by Cisco in 2007. Before WebEx, Everett acted as CFO for multiple private and public companies including VMWare, Netro, and Raychem, a Fortune 500 company.
"There are few start-ups that have the winning combination of experience and vision that I see at Zuora," said Elizabeth Tse. "Look for great things to come from this company. I am honored to be part of the team."
