In addition to her position at Leaf, Bonner is a board member for Agero, a digital driver assistance service provider. She is also a member of the board of 8×8, a leading Software-as-a-Service provider of integrated contact center, voice communications, video, chat, and API solutions where she is an Independent Director, Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and a member of the Audit Committee.
