BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grabango, the premiere checkout-free technology provider to existing brick-and-mortar retailers, announced today the appointment of Saralynn Malott as the company’s vice president of human resources. She comes to Grabango with over 15 years of growth experience, people operations management, and successful team leadership in the technology and e-commerce industries.

“Saralynn has great experience with scaling technology companies while providing opportunities for employees to learn new skills and take on professional challenges,” says Will Glaser, founder and CEO of Grabango. “With her leadership, Grabango will grow our A+ team to scale the business.”

Grabango has tripled its workforce since emerging from stealth mode in January of 2019. The plan is to double in size by the end of 2020 to support client installations.

Grabango has signed four major U.S. store chains that generate billions of dollars in revenue, serve more than 600 million shopper visits per year and cover a combined 29 million square feet of floor space. The first large-scale checkout-free technology partnership in the U.S. was between Grabango and Giant Eagle, a top 20 U.S. grocer. The company is currently in discussions with several top-tier US-based and international grocers for its patented checkout-free technology.
