Asana Hires "COO-Type"?Van Zant First Biz Side Hire for Workplace Collaboration Start-Up

As it gets ramped up for a wider launch, Asana, the high-profile group collaboration start-up founded by top former Facebook execs, has hired former SolarWinds product strategy exec Kenny Van Zant in a "COO-type of role."

Co-founders Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein remain at the top of the leadership at the San Francisco company, which--perhaps in keeping with its yoga-style name--does not have official titles.

But Van Zant will essentially fulfill the COO role, focusing on bringing Asana to the enterprise market in a socially-fueled "bottom-up" approach.
