Matillion Appoints Former Rally Software, CA Technologies Marketing Lead As Chief Marketing Officer
DENVER and MANCHESTER, England, Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Matillion, the leading provider of data transformation software for cloud data warehouses (CDWs), has appointed Dru Jacobs, a longtime enterprise B2B and SaaS technology marketing veteran as chief marketing officer (CMO).
Jacobs brings more than 20 years of experience building and implementing global marketing strategies for fast-growth technology companies, including Rally Software, CA Technologies and cloud security startup ThreatX. He joins following Matillion's June 2019 Series C, and will be responsible for go-to-market strategies, and delivering acquisition, expansion and retention marketing programs to help businesses effectively leverage their own data via the cloud.
"Matillion is at an exciting point in our growth trajectory, with a tight alignment between marketing and sales serving as a critical driver of our continued growth," said Matthew Scullion, CEO. "Dru's experience building market awareness and partnering with sales teams to grow revenue within SaaS and B2B companies, along with his knowledge in aligning marketing activities with business outcomes, will be important to continuing our top-line growth. We are glad to add Dru's talent to our leadership team and look forward to his contribution."
"Matillion has demonstrated ongoing leadership in data transformation, evidenced by its consistent growth and customer-obsessed approach," said Jacobs. "I look forward to delivering on the responsibilities of a CMO role, foundational at this point in Matillion's timeline to increase the company's global exposure, expand its North American presence, and influence how enterprises leverage data to compete and grow."
