“Lob is the only platform that enables marketers to build target lists, create scalable and hyper-personalized direct mail and then measure its results for continuous testing and optimization,” said Ryan Ferrier, Lob’s chief operating officer.
The company’s most recent executive hires are the latest examples of Lob’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the team to support its next phase of corporate growth and product development. Last year, Lob brought new executives to lead through the next phase of growth, including Chief Financial Officer Madhu Jagannathan and Chief Revenue Officer Cory Hogan.
As CFO, Jagannathan brings to Lob decades worth of financial leadership and his thorough understanding of making companies profitable and public to underscore Lob’s growth trajectory. As CRO, Hogan is leveraging his background in driving SaaS and digital sales, marketing and business development to focus on strengthening Lob’s partnership and strategic account pipeline.
“This is an important time of strategic growth for Lob, and the strength of our executive team is evident in our revenue achievement. The current team we have in place is poised to put us on the path to $250 million in the next couple of years,” Avidar said.
Last year, Lob transformed the direct mail landscape by providing 100% carbon neutral direct mail. “By offsetting the impact of every mail piece across its entire lifecycle, we are setting a new sustainability standard for direct mail and the marketing industry overall,” Ferrier said.
