Scott rounds out the company's talented management team, which includes senior leaders with impressive track records from companies like LogMeIn, Constant Contact, Brightcove, HubSpot and Rapid7. He joins at an exciting time for the company, as Localytics recently raised a $35M series D funding round and passed the 200 employee mark, continuing to expand its footprint with offices in Boston, San Francisco and London.
