As founder and chairman of the DocuSign IMPACT foundation, Krach established a partnership with the Special Olympics starting in 2015. The Special Olympics gave DocuSign a unique opportunity to help transform the lives of thousands of competing athletes by transforming a noble cause.

Krach learned that at the start of every Special Olympics event, every athlete must present a current, doctor-signed permission slip at registration in order to compete. Imagine the heartbreak of not being able to compete because paperwork is not in order. Krach’s team digitized the process with DocuSign, transforming the organization, and ensuring that thousands of athletes can achieve their dreams.
