Eight Sleep + Hubscale
Eight Sleep is one of the fastest-growing names in sleep technology, combining hardware, software and biometric data to improve sleep and recovery.
Following its latest investment round, the business reached a $1.5bn valuation, with more than $310m raised and products now sold across 35 countries.
How we helped
As Eight Sleep continued to scale its technology, they needed senior security leadership. The search required someone who could lead security strategically while understanding the pace and complexity of a fast-growth technology company.
The challenge was finding Eight Sleep’s first dedicated security leader - someone senior enough to own security end-to-end, but still hands-on and comfortable building from the ground up in a fast-moving startup.
The search required a rare mix of technical depth, leadership, compliance experience and genuine 0→1 mentality.
Head of Security
The search required a combination of technical security expertise, leadership experience and the ability to operate in a high-growth environment.
