SAN FRANCISCO — DocuSign has hired tech industry veteran Cameron Scott as the company’s first chief communications officer.

Scott, most recently LegalShield’s CMO, will be leading DocuSign’s efforts to streamline its global communications strategy, which includes overseeing corporate, employee and talent comms. He will lead social media and advocacy work for the company, which enables users to sign agreements electronically, as well.

In addition, Scott will be responsible for helping DocuSign develop its external content strategy, reinventing the company's approach to content production that demonstrates the value of DocuSign's Agreement Cloud. He will report to DocuSign COO Scott Olrich.

“As we continue to grow, communications and content marketing are becoming increasingly critical to how we shape our culture, brand, products, and overall business both internally and externally," Olrich said. "The appointment of our first CCO signals the investment we're making to increase our global impact and showcase how we help our customers meet their digital transformation needs in more places. We're thrilled to bring Cameron's proven success and experience to the DocuSign team as we enter our next phase.”

Scott brings to the role 20 years of experience working in tech PR, which included spending the last 18 or so months at LegalShield. Before that, Scott served as GoDaddy’s chief brand officer, and held senior leadership roles at Yahoo and Microsoft.
