Schultz’s SaaS-Growth Expertise to Support Company Acceleration amidst Market Expansion
Allocadia, the leader in Marketing Performance Management (MPM), announced that Laurie Schultz, president and chief executive officer of Galvanize, has joined the company’s Board of Directors. With more than twenty years of technology leadership experience in scaling high-growth companies and creating categories, Schultz will help guide Allocadia’s go-to-market strategy to support our accelerating company growth. In addition to being co-founded by twin sisters, Allocadia reached another diversity milestone with Schultz’s hire as it brings the Board to 50 percent women, both of which are incredibly rare in the world of SaaS where half of all startups have no women on their executive team or board.
