AuditBoard, the AI-powered platform for connected risk, has named Paaras Parker its new Chief Human Resources Officer, signaling the company’s continued investment in people, culture, and leadership as it scales globally.
Parker joins from Greenhouse Software, where she served as Chief People Officer, and previously held the same role at Paycor. With over 15 years of experience in HR leadership across high-growth tech and retail companies, she brings deep expertise in building high-performing teams and aligning people strategies with ambitious business goals.
People Strategy for a Hypergrowth Phase
Parker will lead AuditBoard’s global people team, focusing on workforce alignment, talent development, and maintaining the company’s hallmark culture amid rapid expansion.
“Our people are our greatest asset,” said Raul Villar Jr., CEO of AuditBoard. “Paaras will be the strategic guide ensuring our culture remains exceptional, our teams are aligned, and AuditBoard continues to be a great place to work—all while achieving our growth goals.”
Parker’s appointment follows a period of record momentum for AuditBoard, which recently surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). The milestone underscores the company’s rising influence in the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software space—an increasingly critical category as enterprises seek smarter, AI-driven approaches to managing complex risk landscapes.
From Hiring Tech to Risk Tech
At Greenhouse, Parker helped scale one of the most recognizable brands in recruiting technology, championing inclusive culture initiatives and people analytics strategies to improve hiring outcomes. At Paycor, she worked alongside Villar—then CEO—to guide the company through growth and transformation, giving her a head start in understanding AuditBoard’s leadership style and vision.
“The people behind a company will always be the secret sauce for success,” Parker said. “AuditBoard clearly has a special team in place, and I’m thrilled to join at such a pivotal point in its growth. My goal is to ensure every employee has the tools, clarity, and culture needed to serve our customers and accelerate our mission.”
Strengthening a World-Class Leadership Bench
Parker’s arrival is part of a broader executive expansion that includes CEO Raul Villar Jr. (formerly of Paycor) and Chief Growth Officer Jim Sperduto, who previously led ADP’s Small Business, Retirement, and Insurance Services division. Together, these hires round out a leadership team poised to take AuditBoard from scale-up to enterprise powerhouse.
Context: People Leadership as a Growth Lever
AuditBoard’s timing reflects a broader HR tech trend: as organizations adopt AI-driven solutions, human leadership remains central to ensuring transformation succeeds. The company’s move to strengthen its HR leadership underlines how culture, talent, and technology increasingly intersect in driving sustained performance.
For a company that built its brand on connected risk, bringing in a people leader known for connecting purpose, performance, and culture looks like a natural next step.
