TLDR:
Demandbase named Gabe Rogol as their new CEO. Former CEO, Chris Golec, will remain with Demandbase as its CSO. According to Golec, Rogol is the ideal replacement for him since Demandbase had reached the $100 million milestone. Golec is also expected to maintain a position on the Demandbase Board of Directors. Rogol is a seasoned industry veteran with 20 years of professional expertise. He is also looking to continue Demandbase’s dominance in the ABM arena. He not only knows what it takes to keep the company going but also knows how to grow it.
Demandbase is an industry leader in the ABM category, as the premier platform. They recently announced Gabe Rogol as the replacement to Chris Golec as CEO.
That doesn’t mean, though, that Golec is going away entirely. Instead, he plans to remain with Demandbase as CSO of the company. He also plans to serve the same business by occupying a space on Demandbase’s Board of Directors.
When Golec was at the helm, the company was able to hit the $100 million mark. And now that Golec has helped realize this vision, it’s the perfect time for Rogol to step in.
Golec also intends to serve the business by performing in the role of a CSO.
The change in leadership will also enable Golec to focus on his passions, which include maintaining and improving the culture at Demandbase, working with customers directly, and advancing opportunities for innovation.
Meanwhile, Rogol joined Demandbase back in 2012 and has a wide swath of technology experience—20 years worth of it.
In preparation for his new role, Rogol released the following statement:
“Through seven years of high growth, I understand the key ingredients that led us to the market-leading position we enjoy today,” Rogol said. “I also understand what it will take for the company to continue – and even accelerate – our growth trajectory.”
Rogol concluded by saying that, “This includes making B2B marketers more successful by helping solve their toughest challenges. But I’m also looking forward to continuing the close engagement I’ve had with the product team as CRO, and investing in the innovation that has helped us dominate the ABM category.”
