Over her career, Smith has worked in numerous Seattle-area civic roles including leadership in King County and City of Seattle government offices. She will continue engaging with the Seattle Metro Chamber in her new role at Washington Roundtable, which is a nonprofit that works to influence public policy and is composed of senior executives from major companies in the state.

Atalla said it was 'hard to capture' what his time has meant at the Seattle-based security and application delivery giant. 'I've had the privilege of working with some of the smartest, kindest, most relentlessly curious people in the business — and I don't take that for granted,' he said on LinkedIn. Atalla's career includes nearly 14 years at Microsoft, ending in 2016 as a director with the Office 365 group.

In announcing his departure, Jain said he joined the Meta straight out of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in India. 'Moving halfway across the world to the U.S. was an unexpected leap — but one of the best decisions of my life,' he added. 'What started as just a job quickly became a defining chapter of my journey. Over the years, I had the privilege of working from Seattle, [Menlo Park, Calif.], and Dublin.' Tech companies are scrambling to hire top AI talent, with Meta reportedly offering salaries of $100 million per year. Jain did not name his next role, saying, 'It's the start of a new chapter for me. Stay tuned for what's next.' Adriana Gil Miner. (LinkedIn Photo) — Adriana Gil Miner stepped down from her role as chief marketing and strategy officer at Iterable.

'Few marketers get the opportunity to meet the people behind the brands you love and use every day,' Miner said on LinkedIn. Before joining Iterable, Miner held leadership roles at multiple Seattle-area companies, serving as senior vice president of marketing for Tableau Software and CMO of both Qumulo and Artefact. She did not share her next move. — Former WatchGuard Technologies CEO Prakash Panjwani joined the board of directors for Starfire Sports. The organization provides coding classes, drone summer camps, and other free, after-school sports programming for underprivileged kids in South Seattle.

EPA to reassess most chemical regs, Trump appointee says

'To meet our statutory obligations and to make sure that we're following the law, we're going to have to take another look at pretty much all the actions that were finalized by the last administration,' said Nancy Beck, principal deputy assistant administrator in the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, during an American Home Furnishings Alliance conference Wednesday afternoon. Beck's sweeping comments aren't entirely surprising but offer some assurance for chemical manufacturers questioning their need to comply with the Toxic Substances Control Act rules in legal limbo.
