SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Harness, the leading platform for software delivery, today announced the appointment of Scott Sanchez to the role of Chief Marketing Officer. The appointment comes after a year of extreme growth for Harness; Sanchez will lead the company's marketing strategy and focus on building awareness for Harness as the Modern Software Delivery Platform, and driving engagement in the key developer and open source communities that Harness supports.

"Scott's experiences growing large and small organizations alike, helping companies innovate more quickly, and growing mature services make him perfect for the role," said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and co-founder, Harness. We are thrilled to welcome Scott to the Harness executive team and look forward to partnering with him as we enter this next chapter of growth."
