This year, Fitbit became the second U.S. wearable technology company to go public—and the second to be taken public by Cindy Hess. (The first was GoPro in 2014.) In addition to representing Fitbit in its $732 million IPO, Hess helped startups including WeWork, Zerto and Zimperium raise hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. She also represents Cisco Systems in its strategic investment transactions.
