LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) CEO Therese Tucker has been selected as a judge for the Forbes Cloud 100 list for the third year in a row.

The annual Cloud 100 is the "definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world" published by Forbes in collaboration with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. BlackLine was honored in 2016 with inclusion in the inaugural Forbes Cloud 100. Less than two months later, the financial automation software provider made its debut on the Nasdaq.

The distinguished Cloud 100 judges panel, composed of public cloud company CEOs, evaluates companies based on four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%) and people and culture (15%).

"In just a few years, the Cloud 100 list has established an impressive track record of cementing the reputations of top cloud companies which have continued to achieve notable success, including several, such as BlackLine, which have gone public," said Byron Deeter, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. "The Cloud 100 judges' qualifications precede them. We're honored that the leading public cloud company CEOs will once again lend their expertise to this year's list."

The 2019 Cloud 100 celebration will take place tonight in San Francisco.
