Docusign made its name in the early 2000s by pioneering the idea of e-signatures in digital contracts. Since then it has grown into a multi-billion dollar tech company. The technology came into its own during the Covid-19 pandemic, helping businesses to keep running when everyone worked remotely.

- What Thygesen believes is the secret to sustainable growth in SaaS
- How smaller businesses are outpacing larger ones in embracing AI innovation
- The leadership lessons Thygesen brought from Google to his first CEO role
