LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Velocify, the market leader in cloud-based intelligent sales automation software, today announced that Nick Hedges has been recognized as one of the "50 Most Influential People in Sales Lead Management" by the Sales Lead Management Association (SLMA), placing fourth overall. Members voted for up to three people from the list of nominees. The nominees came from many areas including CRM and marketing automation software, database management, telemarketing, consulting, fulfillment, higher education and publishing companies.

The award caps off a year of impressive growth for the company under Hedges' leadership, including Velocify being recognized as one of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies on Inc. Magazine's distinguished "Inc. 5000" list, as well as one of Glassdoor's 50 Best Places to Work in the small and medium business (SMB) category.

"It's a great honor to be recognized amongst some of the most influential leaders in the sales lead management industry," said Nick Hedges, president and CEO at Velocify. "This award validates our ongoing effort in partnership with associations like SLMA, to help revolutionize the results achieved by sales teams through technology."

Velocify enables sales organizations to effectively manage sales opportunities and increase revenue through intelligent features such as real-time activity prioritization and guided selling that optimizes the selling process. The company is primed for future growth as many industries continue to shift from traditional field sales to inside sales teams to drive revenue and meet quota.

About Nick

Nick Hedges is president and CEO at Velocify and a 15 year veteran of the Internet and software as a service (SaaS) industry. Nick joined Velocify in 2008 as SVP of business development and then held various roles at the company, including head of sales and chief revenue officer, prior to becoming CEO in 2011.

Prior to Velocify, Nick was a case team leader at Bain and Company, where he led strategic assessments in the technology, consumer products, media, and private equity industries. Prior to Bain, he was the CEO of an online marketplace for the global soft commodity industry that provided trading and logistics services to companies across Africa, Asia and Europe. The company was one of the few early dot-coms to generate healthy revenue and was a forerunner of SaaS technology. Earlier in his career, Nick worked at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) on Internet and process-reengineering projects and at Ogilvy and Mather Advertising as an account manager for big brands, such as Kodak and Ford Motor Company.

A Fulbright Scholar, Nick holds an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School and a bachelor's degree with first class honors from Manchester University.
