“I said ‘yes’ to the role at Slalom after I had the opportunity to meet with a bunch of great people there who explained the company’s unique consulting structure and culture,” says Michelle Grover. “Slalom team members want to make sure their customers get what they need, but they also have a strong list of values that guide everything they do. It’s an incredible mix.”
Slalom, a Seattle-based technology consulting company, has tapped former Twilio executive Michelle Grover as the company’s first chief technology officer.
Grover worked as Twilio’s chief information officer from July 2020 to December 2021 and has had other roles as senior vice president of software development for TripIt and Mobile at SAP Concur and interim chief information and digital officer at First Command Financial Services.
“I said ‘yes’ to the role at Slalom after I had the opportunity to meet with a bunch of great people there who explained the company’s unique consulting structure and culture,” Grover told CRN in an email. “Slalom team members want to make sure their customers get what they need, but they also have a strong list of values that guide everything they do.

As CTO, Grover will oversee the technology organization including infrastructure, product engineering and architecture. She will be responsible for developing IT strategy and growing IT expertise to support Slalom’s business and expansion goals. She also sits on the boards of software companies Apptentive and Onymos.
“As we evolve, scale and expand our global footprint, our own internal technology needs have become increasingly complex,” said Tony Rojas, Slalom President, in a statement. “We have thousands of team members and clients worldwide who are engaged with technology and operating at the pace of innovation. Michelle is the kind of leader that can quickly identify opportunities and deliver simple solutions for complicated issues. We’re lucky to have her onboard.”
Slalom is a $2.9 billion company with over 13,000 employees, according to the company’s website.
