Coder Expands Executive Team to Drive Global Growth as Demand Soars

AUSTIN, Texas, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Coder announced that it has appointed Timothy Stephan to vice president of marketing and Mathew Wilcox to vice president of sales. These newly created executive positions come on the heels of the company's $30 million Series B funding, led by GGV Capital, with participation from Redpoint Ventures, Uncork Capital and In-Q-Tel, Inc. Stephan and Wilcox join as the demand for a robust development environment escalates during work-from-home mandates.

"Ammar, Kyle and I have been on an amazing ride over the last three years — building Coder immediately following high school, raising over $40 million from top-tier VCs and reaching 11 million open source downloads," stated John A. Entwistle, co-founder of Coder. "Even as we've hit these significant milestones, we don't know everything and recognize when it's time to bring in specific business expertise. We couldn't be more thrilled that Tim and Mat have decided to join our growing team. We look forward to building on our success, ensuring engineers can focus on what's important: writing code — from anywhere, at any time, from any device."

With 25 years of experience, Stephan is responsible for building the company's global go-to-market strategy, increasing brand awareness and enhancing the customer experience. Stephan comes to Coder from Oracle, where he was part of the Marketing Cloud group. Prior to Oracle, Stephan held vice president positions at Couchbase, MobileIron and VMware. At VMware, Stephan established the company's competitive marketing organization before going on to lead VMware's Cloud Infrastructure Product Marketing efforts. He oversaw the establishment of vSphere as the dominant virtualization solution and guided its evolution into the preeminent private cloud suite, growing to support over 300,000 customers and generate $3 billion in revenue.

"Accepting a new position during a work-from-home mandate is an experience I never thought I'd encounter," stated Stephan. "Not surprising, it was seamless considering Coder can move an entire development environment to the cloud, making it accessible from any location. So, if a company can keep remote engineers secure and productive from anywhere in the world, onboarding a new employee remotely is a piece of cake. I'm excited about the opportunity Coder presents and look forward to helping drive the company's next phase of rapid growth."

With over 20 years of experience, Wilcox will help drive revenues, expanding the company's global footprint. Previously Wilcox was vice president of south regional sales for Pivotal (acquired by VMware), where he grew area revenues from less than $20 million to over $110 million and led the company in team productivity with the highest expansion on renewal and overall revenue goal attainment. Prior to Pivotal, Wilcox held several sales management positions at Microsoft, SAP and Oracle.

"Today's engineers require a powerful, secure and automated development environment," stated Wilcox. "And with today's remote workforce, this platform must enable developers — regardless of location — to maintain productivity and innovation. Coder Enterprise is the only solution I've come across in my career that provides enterprises with secure, remote access to a developer's existing workplace, dramatically increasing innovation and productivity. I'm delighted to be a part of the team and look forward to the journey ahead."
