SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ushur, the no-code intelligent automation company, today announced that senior software executive John Lepore has joined as Global Head of Solutions Engineering. Lepore and his team will ensure the successful implementation, expansion and renewal of Ushur’s customers, working with them at every stage to solve their digital transformation challenges.
Lepore previously spent 12 years at Pegasystems in a variety of leadership roles.
