Shan SinhaCo Founder

United States - Palo Alto, California

I am the founder / CEO of Canopy, a company dedicated to helping hospitals create safe, supportive and fulfilling environments for their entire staff. Currently, we offer the most comprehensive staff safety solution on the market and are protecting over 200,000 individuals around the country.

I have founded multiple companies in the past, my last was Highfive, the best hardware & software video conferencing system ever created. The company I started prior to that was successfully acquired by Google, where I ran the Google Apps Enterprise Product Management team for my time there. Earlier in my career were product management roles at Microsoft, two other startups, and undergrad & masters degrees in Computer Science with a focus on networking.

Areas where I am most helpful include fundraising, managing board dynamics, product strategy, go-to-market strategy, early growth, team management and CEO scaling.
