360Learning Doubles Down on North American Growth by Appointing Former Docebo Sales Leader as CRO to Accelerate Expansion as it Crosses $60M Global ARR
Capgemini chairman and former CEO Paul Hermelin is also joining as senior advisor
360Learning, the world’s leading collaborative learning platform, is doubling down on recent growth in North America with the appointment of Chris Bondarenko as Chief Revenue Officer. The appointment comes as its operations in North America have grown 65% year-on-year on average in the past two years to now make up more than 15% of the company’s revenues, with nearly 100 team members now based in the US. Chris, along with new senior adviser, Capgemini chairman and former CEO Paul Hermelin who brought Capgemini from France to the US, will be integral in scaling 360Learning’s North American operations from $10M ARR today to $100M in the future.
Chris has a true passion for employee development and learning which has inspired his career to date. After holding numerous sales leadership positions at high-growth SaaS companies, Chris joined learning management software company Docebo as VP of Sales North America and APAC. He contributed to the company’s rise from $30M to $125M in ARR, signing several >$1M US deals and massively scaling the sales teams.
