Clarizen, the enterprise collaborative work management company, today announced that the company’s Board of Directors has appointed Matt Zilli as Chief Executive Officer.
Zilli was most recently Vice President, Go-to-Market at Adobe and prior to that, Chief Customer Officer at Marketo. His predecessor, Boaz Chalamish, has been named Executive Chairman.
“I am extremely proud of what our team has accomplished and want to reassure our enterprise customers that maintaining business continuity and staying laser-focused on meeting their needs are our top priorities during this transition,” said Chalamish.
“Our commitment to our customers informs every decision we make. Matt brings the expertise and experience we need in building and fostering strong, long-term enterprise customer relationships.”
“It’s an absolute necessity for enterprises to improve business agility and drive more effective collaboration between teams. Clarizen is poised to seize the leadership position in this highly competitive market,” said Zilli.
“I’m excited to help the company capitalize on the momentum that Boaz, the senior leadership team, and all Clarizen employees worldwide have generated throughout 2019 and into 2020.”
Previously, Zilli led the field and go-to-market teams for Marketo, which Adobe acquired in 2018. He previously served as Chief Customer Officer at Marketo, overseeing Customer Success, Consulting and Global Enablement.
For seven years, he supported Marketo’s growth from $60m in revenue through to the $4.75bn acquisition by Adobe. Before joining Marketo in 2013, he helped launch LineStream Technologies as that company’s Vice President of Marketing.
