Pat House resigned Wednesday as a director on the board of Shutterfly to devote herself to a unnamed private software company she co-founded and where she will serve as chief executive. Her departure leaves holes in the boards compensation committee, which she chaired, as well its audit committee, on which she served.

House co-founded Siebel Systems, where she worked from 1993 until 2006, when it was acquired by Oracle, where she also once worked. She joined Shutterfly’s board the same year Siebel was sold.

House, who earned a BA in education from Western Michigan University, also serves as a guest professor at Stanford and Oxford universities, according to her Shutterfly biography.
