Chris Battles, Chief Customer Officer, Reltio: “I am very excited to join Reltio at this time of rapid growth. My experience as a customer-driven product and executive leader gives me a deep appreciation for the data management challenges Reltio’s MDM SaaS platform helps businesses overcome to thrive in the digital, data-driven economy. I have first-hand experience trying to deliver amazing customer experiences, and drive timely and accurate business decisions when faced with the siloed, fragmented, and disjointed data systems that are all too common in the enterprise. I have a passion for helping customers quickly, easily, and efficiency realize value from their investments in cloud services.”
Chris Hylen, Chief Executive Officer, Reltio: “Battles is the ideal person for the new role of Chief Customer Officer. He has significant experience scoping, scaling, and managing multiple functions in the post-sales area at SaaS providers, working across a wide range of customer types and industries. As Reltio continues to grow market share and expand services, including the recently launched Reltio Identity 360 free service and Reltio Enterprise 360 Site Intelligence for the life sciences market, we need to ensure that we shrink time-to-value for customers and become a partner of choice to fully realize the total addressable MDM market. Battles’ combination of product, customer, and partner successes will help us achieve these outcomes.”
