"We are so pleased to have Kat join the Slice board. Her significant experience growing companies will undoubtedly help Slice achieve our long-term business objectives," Ilir Sela, founder and CEO of Slice, said in a company press release. "She's a powerful operator and change agent with industry-specific experience and a deep understanding of how technology is reshaping restaurants and retail. She will bring valued expertise to Slice, especially as we double-down on our growth and Slice Accelerate."
