"I knew from the moment I met David and the team that BetterCloud was a company with purpose and vision — and one I wanted to be a part of. The fact they've been able to put their technology in the hands of thousands of companies in such a short time is nothing short of impressive. I look forward to working with the team to continue to drive adoption for BetterCloud's disruptive SaaS Operations Management Platform and help take the company's go-to-market plans to the next level."
