LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On Saturday, April 1, SHEIN, the global e-retailer of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products, hosted the company’s first-ever SHEIN X Design Summit, which gathered hundreds of artists and designers, as well as industry leaders, at City Market Social House in Los Angeles, California. The event celebrated independent designers and encouraged them to leverage the company’s flagship incubator program, SHEIN X, to take their businesses to the next level, no matter their level of experience. Since the program’s launch, 1,500 aspiring designers from the U.S. have been empowered through SHEIN X, and the company is looking to onboard 500 more in the U.S. in 2023.

“The idea for this summit came from SHEIN X designers themselves,” George Chiao, SHEIN’s U.S. president, said at the event. “We’re always looking for feedback from our designers, and several wanted an educational opportunity where they could come together, get to know one another, and learn more about how to build their brands – all while having some fun. We hope we delivered on that today, and we’ll continue to identify ways to empower SHEIN X designers and improve their experience with the program.”

The day-long summit featured designer-dedicated programming and networking opportunities, including panels with LaQuan Smith, designer and founder of LaQuan Smith; Laura Kim, co-creative director at Monse; Maeve Reilly, celebrity stylist; Gary Wassner, CEO of Hilldun Corporation; Evette, co-founder of Act of Faith and founder of EXO Cosmetics; Racquel Natasha, influencer, designer and founder of Natasia swimwear; and Josephine Skriver, model and co-founder of JOJA. There was also a performance from The Future X, where the group announced each member will be partnering with a SHEIN X designer to launch their own capsule collection on SHEIN’s platform.

Attendees onsite had the opportunity to connect with stylists, merchandisers, buyers, influencers and other industry professionals, including top performing SHEIN X designers Armand Medhiri, Kenya Freeman and Valerie Campbell of Freak City, who shared their personal experiences with the program and advice for other aspiring creatives.

“Keep going, keep going, keep going,” said Freeman, who launched her first collection with SHEIN X in 2021. “For me, my career has been a long road, with a lot of twists and turns, but when you wake up each day and know you’re doing what you’re here to do, there’s nothing like it. The SHEIN X program has opened so many doors for me, and I’ve never been more excited for what’s ahead.”

More than 20 SHEIN X designers from around the world also showcased their personal collections at the summit. Following the showcase, SHEIN X designers Danielle Brion, Veronica Diaz Montalvo and Jade Breyon were chosen for a previously announced mentorship opportunity with Kim, while SHEIN X designer Francesca Lazzari was chosen for a mentorship program with Reilly.

From just seven designers when the program launched in January 2021, the SHEIN X incubator program has grown to almost 3,000 designers globally, launching more than 25,000 original creations. SHEIN has invested more than $55 million into the program and guides participants through the end-to-end process, from product development, to manufacturing, to marketing and supply chain logistics. Importantly, SHEIN X designers maintain ownership rights to their SHEIN X designs. Since the launch of SHEIN X, SHEIN X artists and designers around the world have earned over $5 million in commission from the sale of SHEIN X products.

Picarro Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy Successfully Validated Under EPA’s OTM-47 to Measure Ethylene Oxide Emissions in Real-Time from Stationary Sources

Leave a comment

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Picarro, Inc. today announced the successful validation and use of the company’s Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) under Other Test Method 47 (OTM-47) as published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on March 23, 2023. The method describes the measurement of ethylene oxide (EtO or EO) emissions from stationary sources by CRDS. OTM-47 represents the first EtO specific real-time stack test method and will provide the industry with a reliable technique for demonstrating regulatory compliance.

CRDS is a highly sensitive analytical technology that can accurately measure trace levels of EtO emissions from source, stack, and ambient applications. The development of OTM-47 was conducted by third-party stack testing company, CleanAir Engineering, using multiple commercially available Picarro instruments, and through site-specific requests for the use of CRDS in performance testing at commercial sterilization facilities. Data gathered through EPA Method 301 validation of OTM-47 demonstrates that Picarro’s CRDS is a reliable and robust technology that can be used as an alternative to less precise technology-based methods such as optically enhanced Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (OE-FTIR), Gas Chromatography (GC), and passive techniques.

The successful validation of this method reaffirms Picarro’s ability to deliver accurate and reliable testing solutions to medical device and contract sterilization customers and chemical plants. Many incumbent technologies are complicated, expensive to maintain, and require large amounts of downtime due to frequent maintenance. Picarro CRDS operates by measuring the decay rate of light inside of a robust optical cavity using a coherent light source making its systems less susceptible to interference when measuring target gases such as EtO.

“We are excited to see the successful validation of CRDS under Other Test Method 47. This method will allow customers emitting ethylene oxide to generate more accurate and defensible data than other technologies, which is critical for ensuring compliance and mitigating regulatory risk,” said Joel Avrunin, Vice President of Environmental at Picarro.

About Picarro
Picarro is a leading provider of Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS)-based, real-time monitoring solutions that offer advanced detection and data analytics technology. Picarro’s suite of systems provides end-to-end visibility with monitoring systems for stacks, indoor air, and fencelines that are supported by a team of experienced and highly qualified professionals who are committed to providing turn-key solutions to customers.  With more than 25 years of expertise and thousands of customers in nearly 100 countries, Picarro is a trusted and reliable partner in ensuring compliance with regulations and environmental standards.

Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure Veteran to Scale Offering as Enterprises Increasingly Turn to Graph as a Cloud Database System of Record

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Neo4j®, the graph database and analytics leader, announced today that Sudhir Hasbe has joined the company’s executive leadership team as Chief Product Officer (CPO). Hasbe will oversee the company’s software portfolio across its native graph database and data science offerings, reporting directly to CEO and Co-Founder Emil Eifrem.

Hasbe previously led Product Management for Google Cloud’s Data Analytics Platform which includes industry-leading products like BigQuery, Looker, Dataproc, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Composer, Data Fusion, and Dataplex. Under Hasbe’s leadership, BigQuery grew to one of the largest analytics platforms with tens of thousands of customers, 110TB of data being processed every second, hundreds of customers with petabyte-scale datasets, and powering more than 700 ISV offerings. Hasbe also led acquisitions of Looker, Dataform, Cask, and CompilerWorks to enhance Google Cloud’s Data Analytics offering. Hasbe was also an executive sponsor of several of Google Cloud’s marquee enterprise customers and ecosystem partners. Prior to Google, Hasbe led software engineering at Zulilly, transforming it into a state-of-the-art data-driven organization. Previous to Zulilly, Hasbe spent seven years at Microsoft where he led product management for Xbox entertainment services, Azure Data Marketplace SQL Azure, and BizTalk Server.

Hasbe succeeds former head of product Philip Rathle, who assumes a new executive leadership role as Chief Technology Officer to help evolve the vision of the company and technology and to expand Neo4j’s relationships across a broader group of stakeholders. Neo4j under Rathle’s ten-year tenure shaped the graph category, grew the company’s offering from a single database product to a full graph stack including native graph storage, data science, analytics, and visualization, and established Neo4j as a leading player in the modern database landscape. The company’s offerings today are used by 75 percent of the Fortune 100 and more than 250,000 data developers, data scientists, and architects across hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, NGOs, and more.

“Sudhir’s track record and innovation with cloud hyperscalers comes to us at a time when graph technology is reshaping the database market and accelerating advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning in ways that are helping enterprises solve their biggest data challenges,” said Emil Eifrem, CEO and Co-Founder of Neo4j. “Sudhir’s expertise builds on what Philip has achieved as we drive the next level of transformation as a company and a category. I couldn’t be happier to have both leaders by my side.”

Hasbe’s appointment follows a series of milestones for Neo4j, which achieved double-digit growth in 2022 after crossing $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2021. This included doubling its enterprise cloud and graph data science offerings. In December 2022, the company was recognized for the first time in the Gartner®️ Magic Quadrant™️ for Cloud Database Management Systems, which also was the first time that native graph vendors more broadly had been included. Neo4j announced its general availability last November of Neo4j 5, the company’s next-generation cloud-ready graph database, the 2023 appointment of Alyson Welch as Chief Revenue Officer, and a major expansion of Neo4j’s graph enterprise deployment offering in March 2023.

“As the world becomes more connected, so does our data, making the relationships between both data and metadata matter more than ever,” said Hasbe. “Graph enables organizations to find hidden relationships and patterns across billions of data connections. It’s why I’ve come to Neo4j, and why graph will one day be foundational for every modern enterprise.”

LOS ANGELES, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — AiDot, an uprising star in smart home ecosystem, announces the successful passes on multiple ISO standard audits, including ISO 27001, the international information security management standard, ISO 27017, the international cloud environment and information security control standard, and ISO 27018, the international cloud privacy protection standard for individual privacy. These certifications show AiDot’s further commitment to cloud safety, data security and privacy protection for all end-users and all WWA (Works With AiDot) partners.

To earn an ISO 27001 certification, a company shall ensure that all transactions and information exchange with shared partners are securely protected. It helps AiDot give partner organizations and customers greater confidence in their interaction with AiDot.

The ISO 27017 standard is built on the hallmark of ISO 27001 and adds further privacy control requirements on how a cloud service provider generates sensitive user-specific data, and how to store, manage, encrypt, transfer and delete such data while giving full notice to customers. Being Awarded with ISO 27001 certification is the highest level of acknowledgements from BSI, a worlding leading conformity assessment body, to AiDot for always chasing and practicing the best security practices.

The ISO 27018 certificate is directed to cloud-service provider specifically and is designed to stipulate the cloud protection framework for processing and storing Personal Identifiable Information (PII), which can be used to trace a person’s identity or link to a personal account.

AiDot believes that protecting partners and end-user’s privacy is the core of AiDot’s cloud service. Through mapping out applicable law in different countries and regions as well as complying with these global cloud safety hallmarks, AiDot acts as a leading safety compliance player and trusted partner in the cloud service marketplace. As of today, AiDot has gained the compliance of CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in over 120 countries.

As an AiDot cloud operation technology developer pointed out that, cloud service gives enterprises more agility for choosing working partners but it also poses new security and compliance challenge when it comes to cloud transfer and cloud layer governance. Thus, it is of utmost importance for a cloud service provider to offer cloud layer safety, operation security and data safety compliance through an integrated cloud service solution. By following the best security practices throughout the cloud structuring and software developing process, an enterprise would be able to offer a reliable and trustworthy cloud service for their clients and partners, like what AiDot is currently offering for Winees. “That’s why AiDot would always pass the most strict and leading third-party audits. We’re always dedicated to the most forerunning security practices in the industry and we’ll always build the trust between end-users and shared partners.”
