Shockley also currently serves as the lead independent director of eGain Corporation, a provider of subscription-based customer engagement software solutions.

Shockley’s appointment marks the third addition to the Board this year. In March 2020, Spok appointed Christine Cournoyer to the Board to drive the company’s new, innovative, cloud-native and integrated communication platform, Spok Go.
