Mason appoints new CEO and CTO, announces key personnel changes in the Pacific Northwest

Seattle-based startup Mason has made some significant changes to its leadership team, bringing on Webb Stevens as the new CEO and John Thimsen as the new CTO. Stevens, who previously served as COO at Docker, and Thimsen, former CTO of Qualtrics, bring decades of enterprise platform experience to the company.

Mason, founded in 2016 by Jim Xiao, focuses on providing a hardware-software platform for companies managing device fleets, with a particular emphasis on data collection in industries such as healthcare and life sciences. Nancy Xiao, who previously held the CEO position, will now serve as president of the company.

The addition of Stevens and Thimsen to the team is expected to drive growth and meet the increasing demand for Mason’s products, particularly in the healthcare sector. The company raised a $25 million Series A round in 2019 and continues to expand its customer base across various verticals.

In addition to the changes at Mason, several other key personnel changes have been announced in the Pacific Northwest tech scene. From new hires at venture funds to leadership appointments at startups, the region is seeing a wave of talent movement and growth.

Overall, the tech industry in the Pacific Northwest is thriving, with companies like Mason leading the way in innovation and growth. The addition of experienced leaders like Stevens and Thimsen will undoubtedly propel the company to new heights in the coming years.
