Calendly, the only centralized scheduling automation platform built for scaling across the organization, today announced the appointment of Stephen Hsu as Chief Product Officer. Hsu will lead the execution of Calendly’s product roadmap and strategy to build purposeful scheduling solutions for departments and industries. He’ll oversee the product management, growth, and user experience teams to serve solopreneurs to the world’s largest organizations with end-to-end scheduling automation.

“Rich functionality, connected workflows, an intuitive UI, and trust – these are core tenets of the Calendly platform and a big reason why our millions of customers choose us to achieve their business goals with scheduling automation,” said Tope Awotona, Calendly’s CEO and founder. “Stephen’s expertise in building products for external-facing teams, along with his deep platform and data experience, will help us drive our most transformative product initiatives yet.”

Hsu is a former SVP of Product and General Manager at Salesforce, where he led the $1.8 billion Integration Platform, API Management, and Data Integration product organization at MuleSoft. Prior to that, he was Salesforce’s VP of Product Management for Sales Cloud, overseeing the sales engagement and productivity product portfolio. Before joining Salesforce, Hsu was the Head of Product at Directly, where he helped grow the company upmarket with customers including Samsung and Airbnb. He is currently an investor at Hyphen Capital and investor and advisor at Firsthand Alliance.

"It’s a product leader’s dream to join a company like Calendly, one that’s built an incredible software and business founded on productivity, collaboration, and customer value,” said Hsu. “I’m energized by the opportunity to help customers and partners achieve more with data and analytics, automation, and enterprise-grade security so we’re winning the hearts of end-users through to IT during this next phase of growth.”

Hsu’s primary focus will be on continuing to expand Calendly’s enterprise features and platform capabilities, while leveraging the product-led growth strengths of the business.
