LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Velocify, the leading sales acceleration platform, today announced Matt Reid has joined the company to serve as vice president of marketing, responsible for overseeing all marketing initiatives during a period of exceptional growth for the company. Reid, who previously served as chief marketing officer for Procore Technologies, will lead corporate marketing, product marketing, market research, demand generation, and sales development functions in his new role, bringing his extraordinary experience growing enterprise- and SMB-focused software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies to guide Velocify's global expansion.
Reid will direct overall corporate and product marketing strategy and execution, and oversee demand generation and sales development functions worldwide.

Earlier in his career, Reid led product marketing for all SaaS technologies at Citrix, directing the initial market launches of GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar.
"Even with the tremendous interest the sales acceleration market has generated, we know that this market has an immense capacity to grow as more businesses understand the need and realize the value of a highly-optimized, insight-driven sales approach," Reid said. "I'm incredibly honored to join Velocify, a company that is transforming the results of every sales team we serve.
