RingCentral named Tarek Robbiati as its new CEO. He has been a member of the RingCentral Board of Directors since December 2022 and CFO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:). He will succeed Vlad Shmunis as CEO, effective August 28, 2023. Shmunis remains as executive chairman.

Shmunis said, “When I founded RingCentral two decades ago, we were a tiny, unfunded startup with an ambitious mission to improve how businesses around the world communicate internally and with their customers. From those humble beginnings, we have become a recognized leader in our space and one of the largest pure-play SaaS companies in the world. My plan is to stay engaged in the Company, while dedicating most of my time to innovation, product development and long-term strategy. I am excited for the road ahead.”
