Prior to Diligent, Carty served as VP of Marketing for Thomson Reuters' tax and accounting division, where she was instrumental in launching its high-return Taxologist initiative, honoring and empowering tax professionals who embrace technology, innovate and challenge the status quo in their fields. She has also held other strategic marketing positions during her nearly decade-long tenure at the firm.

'Her innovative thinking is exactly what's needed to take the company to the next-level, and I'm eager to see what we can accomplish together.'
'In a world where cyber attacks, hacking and data leaks can instantly tarnish a company's value and reputation, board members in particular have a distinct responsibility to put security first-but many aren't. Diligent has set itself apart as the only company that has custom-built its SaaS solutions for secure board communication and collaboration, no matter where in the world someone is, what device he/she prefers, or how he/she likes to work,' said Carty. 'I am honored to join Diligent and look forward to lending my strengths and creative approach to help bring its products to more boardrooms and executive offices around the world.'
