Priscilla Hung’s diverse and extensive experience, coupled with her influence and leadership at Guidewire, has contributed to shaping an organization consistently named to Best Places to Work lists, including the Silicon Valley Business Journal and Glassdoor.
Priscilla was named to the Top 25 InsurTech Executives list by Financial Technology Report in 2020, received a Silicon Valley Business Journal C-Suite Award in 2019 for her commitment and exemplary leadership at Guidewire, and was featured in Profile Magazine in 2018. The Software Report named her to its 2017 list of Top 25 Women Leaders in SaaS for her influence in the field, recognition from peers both inside and outside the company, and contributions to Guidewire’s performance. Priscilla recently participated in a podcast supporting Girls in Tech, the organization dedicated to encouraging young women to pursue tech careers.
As head of Guidewire’s worldwide operations and co-owner of the company’s go-to-market organization, she oversees sales operations, inside sales, sales consulting, product line management, security, alliances, corporate development, venture investments, and enterprise business operations.
Since joining Guidewire in 2005, Priscilla has overseen its transformation from a privately held, on-premise software startup to a publicly traded cloud-based company that serves the vast market of P&C insurance. Named as COO at Guidewire in 2017 and president and COO in 2020, she has been instrumental in propelling Guidewire to growth from half a dozen customers in 2005 to more than 450 in 2022. Her leadership has not only transformed Guidewire but has contributed to the evolution of the P&C insurance segment through the company’s technology innovation.
Prior to Guidewire, Priscilla’s background in enterprise software at startups and public companies included leadership roles at Ariba, Sun Microsystems, Uniface/Compuware, Pyramid/Siemens Nixdorf, and Oracle. Early in her career, she started and operated her own mass-merchandising trade company.
She has continuously mentored girls and young women, encouraging them to consider careers in technology and management. Currently, she sits on the boards of Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV), Vonage Holdings (NYSE: VG), and Ethos.
