You would have to assume that this means more hirings are coming. And the list of Pinney’s credentials suggests a build up to a public offering, which would hardly be a surprise given the amount of venture capital Avalara has raised. Pinney was previously general counsel of at InfoSpace (now known as Blucora) from July 2009 through June 2011 and Drugstore.com from January 1999 through December 2006. Prior to those, she practiced law at Perkins Coie where her experience included public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital. She started her career as a CPA at the former Deloitte Haskins and Sells.
