San Francisco, CA - Prezi, the most engaging way to share content on video, today announced the appointment of Sylvie Veilleux to its Board of Directors. Most recently, Veilleux served as the first chief information officer at Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX).

"Sylvie is a global technology leader with extensive experience driving digital transformation at the technical and talent levels for fast-growing technology companies like Dropbox, and we're thrilled to welcome Sylvie to our Board of Directors," said Jim Szafranski, chief executive officer, Prezi. "The majority of the Fortune 1000 have already begun virtual presenting through Prezi Video, and Sylvie will be an invaluable resource in helping us scale it."

At Dropbox, Veilleux built the company's IT function from the ground-up to create the first global strategic and centralized IT organization and enable the growth and scale of the company pre- and post- IPO.
