SonarSource, the leading platform for clean code, has hired Derek Smith as General Counsel.
Smith joins as an accomplished entrepreneurial legal executive with over 15 years of experience driving hypergrowth tech companies such as Palantir, Airbnb, and MessageBird to scale.
Previously, Smith was the leader of a 20-person international legal department for MessageBird, one of the world's premier omnichannel communication platforms. He has vast experience in developing and implementing the full scope of legal matters, including facilitating global sales, overseeing data privacy, regulatory compliance, and advising boards on shareholder and corporate governance matters. Smith has also been instrumental in supporting senior leadership on company strategy relating to IPO readiness, employment, litigation, product development, and data security.
Smith said, "SonarSource's unique approach and vision for helping developers deliver better, cleaner code positions them as an industry leader with the trust of over 300,000 organizations. SonarSource has experienced tremendous expansion and I look forward to working with the team to advance the business and maximize the opportunities to come."
