Biography

Ms. Mary Ellen Genovese serves as Managing Director of European Operations at 8X8. She brings over 25 years of executive experience, including serving as CFO of publicly-traded Trimble Navigation Limited, the leading provider of advanced location-based solutions, building and overseeing strong financial infrastructures and systems, managing acquisitions, driving greater operational efficiencies for growing public companies and establishing strong relationships with the investment community. She most recently served as 8x8's Senior Vice President of Human Resources and, prior to that, was a consultant to the Company and an advisor to the Company's Board of Directors Compensation Committee. Before joining 8x8, Ms. Genovese served as a consultant to a Fortune 50 global security company where she evaluated potential technologies to license or spinout with the intent of unlocking value to under-utilized assets. From 2004 through 2006, she was the CFO of Savi Technology, a leading provider of RFID systems and solutions to track cargo containers and their content globally via both public and private clouds. While at Savi, Ms. Genovese led the negotiating team in closing a strategic joint venture with Hutchison Port Holdings, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, and she prepared the company for a possible IPO event that culminated with the acquisition of Savi by Lockheed Martin. Prior to Savi, from 2000 to 2004, Ms. Genovese was Chief Financial Officer at Trimble Navigation. While she was Trimble's CFO, the company grew revenues from $271 million to $669 million and maintained strong GAAP operating earnings and positive cash flow growth. Ms. Genovese was also instrumental as CFO in completing numerous acquisitions, securing financing, driving the company's cost reduction programs, and standardizing global policies and system-wide financial reporting capabilities. She played a key role in negotiating the strategic acquisition of Spectra Precision Group, a laser and optical company, for $294 million in 2000. Between 1992 and 2000, Ms. Genovese worked at Trimble in a succession of other increasingly responsible executive positions, including vice president of finance, corporate controller, business unit controller and controller of manufacturing operations. She holds a B.S. Degree in Accounting from Fairfield University.
