Calendly, the modern scheduling platform for high-performing teams and individuals, today announced the appointment of John McCauley as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). McCauley is a veteran finance leader who has spent his career scaling financial operations for global businesses and ushering them through exponential growth. He brings nearly two decades of B2B financial and strategic experience to his new role as Calendly experiences rapid adoption across sales, marketing, customer success, recruiting, and other high revenue-generating teams and companies.

As CFO, McCauley will lead the company’s financial and business operations. His experience leading international companies will guide Calendly through hypergrowth as meeting lifecycle automation gains momentum to drive the next wave of business productivity. Prior to joining Calendly, McCauley was the CFO of Seismic, a fast-growing, global sales enablement company. Previously, he held senior financial strategy positions at Illumina and ServiceNow, where he helped orchestrate a successful IPO in 2012. He began his career in assurance services at Ernst & Young.

“Calendly caught my attention because of its unique business model combining product-led growth and sales-led growth as it moves upmarket into the enterprise while scaling to achieve ambitious goals,” said John McCauley. “The trajectory of the business is nothing short of remarkable, as the $20 billion global total addressable market (TAM) for scheduling automation is massive.”

“John brings a wealth of financial knowledge and exceptional experience working with high-performing tech companies,” said Tope Awotona, founder and CEO at Calendly. “His leadership history and passion for enterprise software is exactly what we need to accelerate business momentum as we build the future of meeting software.”

McCauley follows the company’s expansion of its executive team over the last year, including the hiring of Chief Revenue Officer Kate Ahlering, Chief Marketing Officer Patrick Moran, Chief Information Security Officer Frank Russo, and Chief Customer Officer Tina Dobie.
