In this role, Fullove will join the Executive Leadership Team and report directly to the CEO, leading the Company’s global people strategy.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Fullove joins Ouster as a seasoned operator with over twenty years of leadership experience scaling companies from early stage to over a billion-dollars in revenue. Her extensive background includes pivotal roles at Google, Lyft, Nest, and GM, where she successfully spearheaded large-scale organizational transformations, M&amp;A integrations, and global talent development.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
&#34;We are at a critical juncture in Ouster’s trajectory, where our focus on scaling our global operations and maintaining our innovative culture is paramount,&#34; said Angus Pacala, CEO of Ouster. &#34;Shaluinn brings not only an exceptional track record of scaling high-caliber teams at iconic companies, but also invaluable experience building organizations at frontier-technology companies. Her work with pioneers in Physical AI, autonomous vehicles and robotics will be extremely valuable as we continue to build a resilient, high-performing organization.

My focus will be on building a high-performance organization that attracts the best talent in the world and drives the organizational excellence required to support our mission.&#34;

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

During her tenure at BrightDrop (GM), she scaled the organization significantly in two years while serving on the GM HR Executive Team. Her experience leading international operations at global organizations across Europe and Asia is instrumental as Ouster scales its global presence.
