So, you’re about to take your next steps as a Skedda team member! Before you get going, here’s a rundown of the people that make up our stellar team.
SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM

Mark GentryChief Executive OfficerUS New York City, USA
Based in the city that never sleeps, Mark is our leader here at Skedda - skillfully captaining the ship towards success! He's got a track record of helping SaaS companies achieve explosive growth, time and (time) again, and we're already seeing the early signs of the same here at Skedda. Mark is great for a chat about all things punk rock - think Coheed and Cambria, Alkaline, The Clash - and taking SaaS companies to glory. What more could you ask for in a CEO?!

Michael RecordsVP of Finance🇺🇸 Dallas, USA
In, quite possibly, one of the greatest name-to-occupation matches known to man, Michael Records ...😏... manages all things 'finances' here at Skedda. A whiz at crunching numbers, making sense of cryptic datasheets, and maximizing Skedda profits, Michael has a keen eye for detail and a knack for simplifying the complex on a daily basis. He truly is an excellent asset to the team (corny accounting jokes for the win)!

Jake HelmanVP of Sales🇺🇸 Boston, USA
Based in Boston, USA, Jake brings a bunch of sales experience to the team and, most recently, has developed an excellent track record when it comes to scaling top-notch sales teams! Jake is full of great insights on how to help prospective customers see the value of the Skedda platform in ways that lead to strong sales growth for the business. A family man and a dad to two, Jake is all energy (he has to be!!!) - a lot of fun to be around, and a positive, curious, hard-working addition to the Skedda Team!

Jenny also values sharing the lessons she's learned throughout her career, and is passionate about mentoring young women in the workforce and other under-represented groups. The perfect person to be our Marketing Leader!

Maria CasellaVP of People & Operations🇺🇸 Boston, USA
Maria is a super talented generalist who joins us from Newness (a small beauty company), where she was Head of People & Operations, but also has a variety of other experiences in her background, including as Chief of Staff at Drift, a large conversational marketing company you may know of! At Skedda, Maria is responsible for all things "people operations", including talent acquisition, payroll-and-benefits administration, compliance, performance management, facilities operations, and working with the SLT on all things "culture and values". Maria is an excellent addition to our team and we're stoked to see all the great change she'll bring!

His natural curiosity, passion for understanding customers, and inherent builder’s mindset will be a huge asset to Skedda as we move to the next stage of our growth... And, if you ever need endurance running tips, JH is your guy!
