Atlanta unicorn Calendly has appointed veteran startup executive Jessica Gilmartin as chief marketing officer, according to a Wednesday news release.
The announcement is the latest in the fast-growing startup’s C-suite changes. Last June, the company appointed John McCauley as its chief financial officer. Other recent additions include chief revenue officer Kate Ahlering, chief information security officer Frank Russo and chief customer officer Tina Dobie.
Gilmartin will be replacing Patrick Moran as CMO. She previously held C-suite positions at home care company Honor and online college recruiting platform Piazza. Gilmartin also co-founded Fraiche Yogurt, a yogurt store chain in the Bay Area. Most recently, she was the head of revenue marketing at Asana, a software company based in San Francisco.
The meeting scheduling software startup’s executive appointments correspond with impressive growth. It surpassed a $3 billion valuation in 2021 after raising $350 million from Boston-based OpenView Venture Partners and San Francisco-based Iconiq Capital. Before then, Calendly had raised virtually no outside capital.
In September, Calendly acquired San Francisco-based interview scheduling company Prelude, adding to the ability for its customers to automate the process for scheduling interviews with job candidates.
Calendly was founded in 2013 in the Atlanta Tech Village incubator. In 2021, the company ditched its Atlanta office in favor of an all-remote model.
Calendly currently employs over 600 people and has over 10 million users across 155 countries, a company spokesperson said. In 2022, the number of company clients that spend over $100,000 on its service increased 100%.
The C-suite change comes as technology companies across the nation have struggled to adapt to changing market conditions. Investors are prioritizing profits over growth, causing some major tech companies and startups alike to cut costs and lay off employees.
