Following the close of its Series B funding round in May and stellar Q2 customer momentum, Lund’s hire marks another strategic move in 2020 for the digital experience analytics company. Due to COVID-19, nearly all brand-to-consumer touchpoints have gone digital, forcing many enterprises to truly prioritize the optimization of mobile and web experiences. Lund recognizes this shift, and as part of his strategy, he intends to ensure Decibel’s team is equipped to provide incoming customers with what they need to achieve digital experience success. After spending more than two decades in Silicon Valley, Lund will relocate to Decibel’s London headquarters to work alongside CEO Ben Harris and CTO Tim de Paris.
Lund has a history of leading software companies to operational and financial success. As CFO at Conversica, an AI-driven digital customer acquisition and growth company, he led $70 million in financing rounds to support years of rapid growth. At DemandTec, Lund helped oversee an IPO (one of the first-ever SaaS IPOs), numerous acquisitions and, most notably, a $500 million sale of the company to IBM.
