Todd McCormick Appointed Silverpop's Senior Vice President of Sales

ATLANTA, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Silverpop™, the only digital marketing technology provider that unifies marketing automation, email, mobile and social, today announces the appointment of Todd McCormick to senior vice president of sales. McCormick will focus on the continued growth of new and existing U.S. sales for the company, which recently announced a 40 percent increase in closed new business as compared to the first half of 2011.

With nearly 15 years of experience, McCormick is well positioned to further Silverpop's impressive momentum.  Most recently he served as vice president of sales for PGi and previously spent 11 years at Careerbuilder.com, where he led the company's most successful business unit and the top strategic account team in the industry. A recognized Sales 2.0 thought leader, McCormick speaks at several events each year, teaching sales and marketing leaders how to differentiate their companies to drive more revenue.  

"We are thrilled to welcome Todd McCormick to the Silverpop team at a very exciting time in our company's history," said Bill Nussey, CEO of Silverpop. "Todd believes in scalable, repeatable sales processes and also understands the critical linkage of sales and marketing. These traits are critically important for any sales leader, but particularly for one leading a team focused on connecting marketers with tools designed to better align sales and marketing, develop more engaging relationships with their customers and, ultimately, drive more revenue.  Todd is not only a key addition to our team, but an important advocate for Silverpop customers as well."

McCormick received his MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School after earning his bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Alabama.

"Given Silverpop's product leadership and Todd's sales leadership the company is poised to capture market share leadership in the marketing automation field," said Gerhard Gschwandtner, founder and CEO of Selling Power, Inc.

"I am excited about the opportunity to lead the Silverpop sales team, particularly at this very important moment in the company's history," said McCormick. "Silverpop has always been ahead of the curve, initially providing marketers with an incredibly robust email marketing product, then adding marketing automation to the mix and now having the incredible foresight to evolve both offerings to not just incorporate buyer behavior, but put it front and center. I look forward to helping Silverpop continue to grow and to bringing its very innovative Engage platform to even more marketing departments."
