“We’re thrilled that these new additions to our board and its committees bring expertise that will support and enhance our efforts as we continue to look for innovative ways to serve HAP members,” says Michael Genord, president and CEO of HAP.

Her extensive legal experience includes serving as senior attorney and diversity director at Detroit law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock, and Stone. She holds a law degree from Emory University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan. She is licensed to practice law in Michigan and California.
Rajavel, chief information officer of Palo Alto Networks, is responsible for the organization’s global information technology functions. She brings significant experience to HAP from her understanding of the IT challenges faced by industries and organizations, having also served as CIO at Citrix and in leadership roles at McAfee, Forcepoint, Cisco, and Infosys.
She holds a master’s degree in business administration from the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, Calif., and a bachelor’s degree in computer science and engineering from the Thiagarajar College of Engineering at Anna University in Chennai, India.
