Seasoned enterprise leader brings decades of
experience to scale Amplitude’s global go-to-market
organization
Amplitude, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPL), the pioneer in digital
optimization, today announced the appointment of Thomas Hansen as
its first President. With nearly three decades of experience,
Hansen will oversee all aspects of Amplitude’s go-to-market (GTM)
organization, including revenue, operations, customer success,
partnerships, and marketing. Hansen will join Amplitude’s executive
leadership team and report to Spenser Skates, Amplitude’s CEO and
Co-founder.
“Amplitude enables organizations to deeply understand their
customers, build better products, and drive revenue growth
efficiency. Today’s market conditions make all of this more
important than ever before,” said Skates. “Thomas brings decades of
world-class leadership, operational excellence, and proven talent
to Amplitude, and he’ll play a crucial role in helping us capture
the opportunity ahead. We’re excited to welcome Thomas to the team
as we look to our next phase of growth.”
Hansen will lead Amplitude’s go-to-market strategy, and will
oversee its global revenue and marketing organizations, including
sales, operations, customer success, partnerships, brand, and
demand generation. An accomplished revenue leader in the technology
industry, Hansen most recently took UiPath public as its Chief
Revenue Officer and helped the company reach nearly $1 billion in
annual recurring revenue. Before that he was the Chief Operating
Officer at Carbon Black, where he led the company through its IPO
and its acquisition by VMWare. Prior to Carbon Black he was the
Global Vice President of Revenue at Dropbox and also spent 14 years
at Microsoft in leadership roles. Hansen also serves on the boards
of Dixa and Forter, and is an Advisor at Relational AI.
“Every organization is transforming its business to thrive in a
digital world, and I believe Amplitude is primed to solve the
growth challenges ahead of every product, technical and customer
team,” said Hansen. “Data-driven products are what sets businesses
apart today, and I can’t wait to work alongside Spenser and the
team to evolve and innovate our business and strategy. We want to
empower every company to deliver amazing digital customer
experiences, and Amplitude is key to making that happen.”
Hansen will support Amplitude as the company expands its
best-in-class product analytics suite. Last month at Amplify 2022,
the company announced several new products and analytics features,
including Amplitude CDP, the industry’s first insights-driven CDP;
Experiment Results to help companies rapidly scale experimentation;
new reporting tools in Amplitude Analytics to provide deeper
insights into marketing and growth performance metrics; and an
expanded partnership with Snowflake. Amplitude was also just named
a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Customer Analytics
Technologies (CAT), Q2 2022 report as well as #1 in eight
