Salesloft, provider of the first and only AI-powered revenue workflow platform for global sales teams, announced that Mark Niemiec has joined the company as its chief revenue officer. A former long-time Salesforce and Cisco executive with more than 20 years of experience, Mark will oversee Salesloft’s global sales organization.
“The landscape of sales is undergoing a transformative shift, where the role of salespeople is evolving to meet the changing buyer preferences of customers,” said Niemiec. “Buyers seek a more informed, tailored purchasing journey, guided by research and insights. Salespeople must be prepared to help them with the right information at the right time. Salesloft has emerged as the ideal platform to facilitate this evolved sales approach and I’m proud to join an organization that shares my passion for helping customers solve their biggest problems.”
“Mark’s strong operational discipline and proven track record as a customer-centric enterprise go-to-market leader for some of the world’s biggest software companies will be invaluable as Salesloft continues our global expansion.”
Niemiec joins Salesloft after an impressive run at Salesforce, most recently serving as chief revenue officer for the company’s Communications and Media operating unit, one of the fastest growing and largest operating units in the world. Prior to Salesforce, Niemiec spent 10 years at Cisco, where he held complex and challenging leadership roles in Cisco’s Financial Services business as well as their software and collaboration business unit.
