Pluralsight Appoints Former Salesforce Executive Ross Meyercord to Chief Revenue Officer
October 16 2019 - 9:00AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the technology skills platform,
today announced the appointment of Ross Meyercord, former Executive
Vice President of Sales for Salesforce, as Chief Revenue Officer.
As CRO, Meyercord will be responsible for leading all elements of
customer success, including the direct and indirect sales teams,
pre-sales, and professional services serving customers in more than
150 countries.
Meyercord brings nearly 30 years of experience to Pluralsight,
including enterprise SaaS sales, partnerships, sales operations,
and technology leadership. Most recently, as EVP on the North
American sales team at Salesforce, and previously as Chief
Information Officer, Meyercord was a key member of the leadership
team that helped grow Salesforce from $2.5B to more than $16B in
annual revenue. Meyercord began his career at Accenture, where he
was a senior partner in the Communications and High-Tech practice
and left after 22 years to join Salesforce.
“Ross’s experience, expertise, and proven execution is the
perfect match for Pluralsight as we enter our next phase of growth,
and evolve our sales strategy and operations,” said Aaron Skonnard,
co-founder and CEO of Pluralsight. “His management of sales growth
and operations at scale is exactly what we wanted in our next CRO.
Furthermore, as a former CIO, Ross deeply understands the needs of
our customers and how our platform meets those needs. His role in
growing a SaaS business at scale and in advising the world’s
largest companies will help our customers manage their
transformations in today’s digital age.”
“There are only a few opportunities like the one Pluralsight
presents right now,” said Meyercord. “Similar to what Salesforce
did for sales leaders, Pluralsight is creating the same for tech
leaders, and the company has just begun bringing this value to
companies around the world. I am excited to join the team and help
scale the business to address this growing need as companies
embrace technology to deliver on their goals and build new ways of
doing business.” About Pluralsight
