Digital growth software executive joins reshaped leadership team to fuel the next phase of Riskalyze’s growth

Riskalyze, the industry-leading growth platform for wealth management firms, today announced the appointment of Stephen Brandes as Chief Revenue Officer. Brandes, based in New York City, will lead the company’s Advisor Direct, Mid-Market, Strategic Accounts, Renewals and Relationship Management teams, and will leverage his go-to-market experience to drive industry adoption of the company’s category-defining growth platform.

“We’re so incredibly excited to welcome Stephen to Riskalyze as our most recent leadership team hire. He will help drive growth for the customers we love to serve, and by extension, our business”

Brandes joins Riskalyze from Wunderkind, a digital growth solution for retail e-commerce companies, where he was most recently Senior Vice President of Sales. During his seven-year tenure at the company, he played a pivotal role in accelerating its annual recurring revenue from $30 million to $150 million. A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School, Brandes brings a strong track record of building and scaling sales teams to generate predictable results.

“As I considered the kind of company I wanted to be a part of, I knew that I’d only make the leap for a mission-driven organization with an industry-changing product,” said Brandes. “Riskalyze certainly embodied that unique and rare combination, and I was particularly impressed by the senior talent that they’ve assembled for the firm’s next leg of growth. I’m excited about the prospect of equipping great financial advisors and wealth management firms with the tools and knowledge to scale their firms and expand access to quality financial advice.”

The appointment of Brandes completes the strategic reshaping of Riskalyze’s leadership team, which has taken place over the past year. The leadership team now consists of Aaron Klein, Chief Executive Officer; Micaela Barraza, Senior Vice President of Operations; Justin Boatman, Chief Product Officer; Craig Clark, Chief Marketing Officer; Will Cureton, Chief Financial Officer; and Josh Gray, Chief Technology Officer.

Brandes succeeds Drew DiMarino, who led the revenue function at Riskalyze for the last four years, and is stepping down to pursue a “repeat” experience with an early-stage company, similar to what Riskalyze was when he first joined. Brandes will take the baton from DiMarino later this month.

“We’re so incredibly excited to welcome Stephen to Riskalyze as our most recent leadership team hire. He will help drive growth for the customers we love to serve, and by extension, our business,” said Klein. “His results leading sales for one of the nation’s fastest-growing software companies speak for themselves; moreover, he has the vision, grit, and experience to lead us forward into our next chapter as the category-defining growth platform for wealth management firms. At the same time, we’re tremendously grateful to Drew for all of his contributions to Riskalyze’s incredible upward trajectory these past few years—and can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.”

Brandes’ experience also includes successfully navigating a corporate repositioning at Wunderkind, which in 2020 unveiled a new name as part of a broader initiative to better align with the next phase of company growth and mission. His appointment comes as Riskalyze is expected to unveil its new brand identity and several new product capabilities in May of this year.

ShipStation Launches New 3PL Feature to Streamline Onboarding and Order Fulfillment Processes

ShipStation 3PL automates manual client communication and reduces client setup time

ShipStation, the world’s leading cloud-based ecommerce shipping solution, today announced the release of ShipStation 3PL, its first-ever feature designed specifically for third-party logistics providers (3PLs). The solution gives 3PLs the power to streamline client onboarding and management through a self-service portal. The portal allows 3PLs to automate manual fulfillment operations and eliminate client friction.

Many 3PLs still perform client onboarding, integration, and support manually – typically through email, file transfer, or directly through their clients’ shipping platforms. Manual client onboarding can cost 3PLs up to 10 labor weeks per client*, and manual client management processes make 3PLs prone to human errors and costly mistakes. Outdated onboarding and management processes can limit the number of customers a 3PL can serve, and can frustrate existing clients who are accustomed to immediate visibility and control of their order fulfillment processes.

Read More: Weave Named A Leader In Five Different Categories In G2’S 2023 Spring Report

ShipStation 3PL directly addresses these challenges by automating manual client communication processes and reducing new client setup to less than one day. Key features include:

  • A single platform for 3PLs to manage their carrier integrations and receive, manage, and ship all of their clients’ orders
  • Automatic status, tracking, and inventory updates that are sent directly to clients once orders are fulfilled by the 3PL
  • 3PL access to ShipStation accounts, which allows them to offer their clients hundreds of sales channel integrations and order routing, branding, and self-fulfillment capabilities

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Ketan Karkhanis, EVP & GM, Salesforce Sales Cloud

“For 3PLs, onboarding and configuring workflows for new clients is time and cost-intensive, which can prohibit growth,” said Sudha Chandrasekharan, Senior Vice President of Ecommerce Products at Auctane, ShipStation’s operating brand. “With ShipStation 3PL, those key processes can be reduced to minutes. This solution eliminates 3PLs’ main barriers to serving new and existing clients, and delivers the level of inventory and shipping visibility modern clients expect. ShipStation serves a massive network of ecommerce merchants, and with ShipStation 3PL, we’ll optimize critical operations for a major network of growing 3PLs.”

Pramata Names Former Salesforce VP John Serdinsky as Its First Chief Customer Officer

Pramata logo

Serdinsky will oversee the company’s onboarding and customer success programs with a focus on helping Pramata users gain deeper value from the contract management platform

Pramata, the leading end-to-end contract management solution provider, announced it has named John Serdinsky as its first Chief Customer Officer. Serdinsky will be part of Pramata’s leadership team and responsible for the company’s onboarding and customer success initiatives. He will be focused on developing and implementing programs that enable Pramata users to achieve fast value and go deeper into the platform’s contract management solution, ensuring they gain maximum value from their CLM investment.

The contract management industry has hit an inflection point. According to a recent Forrester Consulting study commissioned on behalf of Pramata, more than a third of the CLM technology decision makers surveyed said their current CLM solution provider failed to deliver adequate customer support. Nearly 40% claimed their solution took too long to deploy and another 34% said their solution took too much effort to maintain.

To address the industry’s biggest challenges, Pramata has taken a radically simple approach to contract management – offering a proven solution that empowers the entire business for less than the cost of a full-time employee. Unlike most overly-complicated CLM solutions, Pramata is designed to improve efficiency, enabling contract management professionals to stop being the “corporate librarian” and, instead, focus on driving real value and fast ROI, through adoption of the CLM platform across the organization.

The addition of a Chief Customer Officer to its C-suite will further advance Pramata’s goal of building a community of contract MVPs who are able to drive critical business outcomes – shifting the in-house counsel team from a support role to a primary driver of the business.

“Contract management professionals need tools that provide complete visibility into contract data so that they can protect revenue and accelerate contract creation and renewal responsibilities, as well as manage vendor costs and contract terms. They want uncomplicated solutions that are easy to get up and running without completely exhausting their technology budget,” said Praful Saklani, founder and CEO of Pramata. “As a former Pramata client, John knows the value of our solution better than anyone. He understands what contracting teams across legal, sales, and operations are up against and has firsthand experience leveraging Pramata’s solution to address the industry’s biggest challenges. When we decided to bring on a customer success leader, we knew it had to be John.”

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with David von Rothenburg, VP Sales and Alliances at Pitcher

Prior to joining Pramata, Serdinsky served as the regional VP of Customer Success at Salesforce where he managed the full customer journey efforts and led the team responsible for onboarding and customer success programs. With more than two decades worth of leadership experience, Serdinsky’s professional tenure includes sales, marketing, and product development roles at various organizations, including CenturyLink and Qwest.

“The contract management space is saturated with solutions that suffer from feature bloat with too many businesses paying way too much for CLM technology that is way too complicated. Pramata takes a completely different approach to contract management, delivering an easy-to-use and easy-to-budget solution that makes a serious impact on major business objectives,” said Serdinsky. “My firsthand experience as a Pramata customer is what drew me to the company. Its ability to quickly deliver value and scale without heavy lifting on the user-side is a game changer for our industry. As the Chief Customer Officer, I can’t wait to connect with Pramata customers and show them just how much they can do with our solution. It’s an amazing product that has been built by an amazing team.”

Fully contained within ChurnZero and integrated with leading CRMs, the tool provides revenue and forecast insights to help CS teams gain predictability, maximize growth opportunities, identify and mitigate revenue risks, and design effective, collaborative revenue strategies.

However, these teams are underequipped with purpose-built technology for their roles. With flexible configuration and automatic analytics, Renewal and Forecast Hub gives CS teams a central source of revenue insights and analysis, without the need to manually move and configure data from spreadsheets and CRMs. CS leaders can forecast, track and analyze projected revenue across their team’s entire book of business, while individual Customer Success managers can do the same for their own accounts.

With predictive analysis enhanced by customer health scores, and intuitive analysis of key revenue metrics, Renewal and Forecast Hub makes ChurnZero the complete solution for CS teams looking to own or influence revenue authoritatively.

“Customer Success teams who own or have a direct line to revenue have more impact and influence, superior retention rates, and greater resilience to cost-cutting measures driven by economic uncertainty,” says You Mon Tsang, CEO and co-founder, ChurnZero. “If CS teams are tasked with retention, then they also need the ability to manage and forecast revenue opportunities and threats accurately and efficiently. Renewal and Forecast Hub gives CS teams everything they need to either own recurring revenue for their organization, or partner effectively with the team that does.”

Read More: The right RevOps architecture to thrive in 2023 and beyond

  • Accurate forecasting: incorporated customer health scores give CS teams predictability with a better understanding of each account’s likelihood to renew, expand or churn.

  • Proactive risk mitigation: CS teams can identify churn risks earlier, ensure on-time renewal decisions, and view the revenue of at-risk accounts against targeted goals.

  • Strategic fine-tuning: CS teams can analyze and slice data by users, teams, cohorts, and more to gain insights into trends and inform future strategies. 

  • Intuitive reporting: CS teams and individuals can easily showcase NRR, GRR (gross revenue retention), churn rate and expansion revenue for check-ins, strategy adjustments, board presentations and more.
