He will oversee all aspects of product marketing including messaging and positioning, storytelling, go-to-market strategy, pricing and packaging, customer and market research, and new product launches.
“Michael has a strong track record of launching and growing innovative cloud products at some of the world’s leading technology companies,” said Mark Jewett, CMO at SmartRecruiters. “Michael brings a relentless focus on customers and has consistently been able to bring together world-class teams to make sure the right solution is in front of the right customer at the right time.”
