Over the course of his career, Hinshaw has held roles such as Group COO at HSBC, EVP of Technology and Operations at HP, CIO at Boeing, and SVP at Verizon Wireless. He currently serves on multiple public company boards and is a member of the Global Advisory Council at ServiceNow - where he first met the Digile team during their flagship Knowledge conference in Las Vegas.

With a strong foundation in Asia and growing global reach, Digile is poised to make a significant impact."

Hinshaw emphasized that success in this new chapter will be measured not only by Digile's growth but by its ability to deliver lasting value to clients. "In every role I've held, I've sought out partners who were not just capable but collaborative - who could grow with the business. Digile is exactly that kind of company," he said.
