“I was drawn to GitLab due to its mission of enabling organizations to ship secure products more efficiently. I look forward to contributing my expertise in healthcare informatics, IT policy and contracting support to benefit our servicemembers and military healthcare as a member of this prestigious board,” said Molthen.
Romano and Molthen join existing board members August Schell President John Hickey, Mountain Wave Ventures Partner Roger Cressey, Efrus Federal Advisors Founder Rob Efrus and Buck Consulting Group CEO Nick Buck.
