OAK BROOK, Ill., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chamberlain Group (CG), global leader in intelligent access solutions and Blackstone portfolio company, welcomes two new executive leaders this month to accelerate the company's transformation. Mike Eklund is CG's new Chief Financial Officer and EVP, joining from Shutterfly, where he was CFO, and Gina Hardy has been named Chief Marketing and Experience Officer and EVP, joining from Uber subsidiary, Drizly, where she was Chief Customer Officer.

Prior to Shutterfly, Mike was CFO at Scientific Games, the publicly traded gaming technology company and served as CFO and COO at DJO, also a Blackstone portfolio company. During his time at DJO, he navigated the sale of the company to a strategic buyer for $3 billion. Mike also held several executive finance and operations roles during a 20-year career at Dell.

"Chamberlain Group is defining the intelligent access industry, and the transformation it's undergoing is incredible," said Mike Eklund. "I look forward to working with the team to continue driving the company's impressive growth and momentum."

Prior to Drizly, Gina served as CMO at Tonal where she helped triple the subscriber base, catapulting the brand to be the #1 connected strength product in the US. She led the charge on campaigns with iconic athletes LeBron James and Serena Williams – the latter recognized as one of Fast Company's 'Most Innovative Campaigns' of 2022. Gina also spent over a decade leading marketing and consumer insights for the $5BN Gatorade brand at PepsiCo.

"As a passionate brand builder, the opportunity at Chamberlain Group is limitless," said Gina Hardy. "The myQ ecosystem is used by millions, and I'm excited to help deepen our brand affinity and reach millions more as we amplify our story and show people how easy it to use myQ products."
