Cynthia M. Johnson joined the board of directors at PROS Holdings (NYSE:PRO), Inc., a provider of AI-powered SaaS solutions, as an independent director today. Johnson brings a wealth of industry experience and a track record of driving revenue growth and digital transformation from her current role as Senior Vice President of Global Solution Sales at ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW).

Johnson, who led sales for the data center segment at Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) from 2012 to 2021, is expected to contribute significantly to business scaling and sales operations enhancement at PROS Holdings.
