Outreach, the leading sales engagement platform, has hired industry veteran Mike Mooney as the company’s Chief Revenue Officer. Mooney will lead all revenue for the company and oversee all customer-facing organizations — including sales, marketing, customer success, solutions consultants, support and professional services — for the fast-growing, industry-leading company that has changed the way sales organizations sell and has been recognized by Forbes as one of its “Next Billion Dollar Startups.”
Mooney, who most recently worked at Centrify as the Chief Revenue Officer before the company was acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, has spent more than 25 years leading, building and scaling high-performing enterprise sales operations, helping them increase revenue efficiency and drive growth. As the Chief Revenue Officer at Centrify, he led global sales and field service operations — including enterprise sales, channel sales, inside sales, systems engineering, customer care and support, professional services, sales operations, business and corporate development.
