VICTORIA, BC <\/strong>\u2013 June 26, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 Earlier this summer, we welcomed a new person to Certn\u2019s leadership team<\/a>. Saba El-Hilo has joined Certn as our new Chief Technology Officer. Saba brings a ton of experience and vision to the table, and her arrival marks a big move for Certn as we double down on building the most trusted digital hiring infrastructure, right when application fraud, deepfakes<\/a>, and ID issues are heating up across remote teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more companies hire remotely and credentials go digital, verifying identity and background info securely isn\u2019t just nice to have, it\u2019s essential. Saba brings deep tech and cybersecurity experience to the table, helping us build even smarter, safer infrastructure to respond to growing risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe team\u2019s bigger, the systems are messier, and our AI stack is growing faster than our ability to govern it, so we hired Saba. Not because we \u2018needed a CTO,\u2019 because we needed this<\/em> kind of CTO,\u201d emphasized Andrew McLeod, CEO and co-founder of Certn. \u201cSaba understands clear architecture, reliable data, modular systems, and dev environments where people and AI can collaborate effectively.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With leadership roles at Mapbox, Signal Sciences (Fastly), Unbounce, and Neo Financial, she has a proven track record of using data and AI to deliver trustworthy digital products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode of What the FTE?<\/a><\/em>, Saba shares her take on what it takes to lead well in fast-moving environments, from staying disciplined and communicating clearly to embracing AI\u2019s role in shaping the future of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
