Before Figma, she was VP of Growth at Opendoor, where she helped expand the company from four to 21 markets and grow its business to billions in GMV.

Earlier, Sheila was the second marketing hire at Dropbox. She helped grow the company’s user base to 600 million and revenue to more than $1 billion.

“Sheila is a proven leader with an incredible track record of elevating beloved, product-led technology companies into defining market leaders. The growth and scale she’s seen in spades, together with her mastery of community, brand, and growth, will be a major accelerant as we increasingly become the de facto inference provider powering the open frontier,” said Baseten CEO Tuhin Srivastrava.

“AI is still in its early innings, and the scale to which it will grow is beyond what we can comprehend. Baseten’s vision and execution around inference and broader intelligence infrastructure have placed it squarely at the center of this tectonic shift,” said Baseten CMO Sheila Vashee.
