Glassdoor, the leading jobs and career community, today announced it has strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Adam C. Spiegel as chief financial officer. Spiegel brings more than 20 years' experience and has a proven track record of helping companies prepare for and manage through periods of rapid growth.
Prior to Glassdoor, Spiegel served as CFO of RPX Corporation, a provider of subscription-based corporate patent risk solutions. He built RPX's finance organization and led the company through a hyper-growth phase, including a successful $185 million initial public offering. Spiegel also previously served as CFO for two early-stage life science companies. Earlier in his career, he was an investment banker advising technology, financial services and industrial companies on a wide range of complex transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and public equity and debt financings. Spiegel holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from UCLA.
