“As we continue to grow, it’s imperative we take an inclusive

initiatives across the business that embrace diversity, foster

easy experience, and connects you to all the content you love,”
said Spence. “We are thrilled to welcome Rebecca at a pivotal
moment for Sonos, to scale the software organization for our next
phase of growth and accelerate innovation as we continue to expand
our range of products and services for the home and push further
beyond.”
Zavin, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, joins from Palo Alto
