PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NoSQL database software company ScyllaDB today announced that veteran sales executive Randall Jackson has joined as its first Chief Revenue Officer. Jackson will guide top-line revenue growth across all pricing and deployment models, including partnership and channel sales, subscription-based enterprise and database-as-a-service offerings. Scylla is a high-performance alternative to Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB, built from the ground up for speed, scale and low latency, and designed for real-time big data applications.
Jackson is a seasoned leader with more than 20 years of experience in open source, NoSQL and enterprise go-to-market strategy. He previously served as VP of North America Enterprise Sales for MongoDB, where he drove Fortune 100 and federal sales teams. Prior to that, Jackson spent six years building MarkLogic’s Public Sector division from the ground up. He also led worldwide sales at Kong and Mapbox and directed GTM strategy for object storage startup SwiftStack (acquired by NVIDIA).
“ScyllaDB is growing quickly on all fronts,” said ScyllaDB CEO Dor Laor. “We’re expanding our core business, forging new partnerships and transforming Scylla to support more and more use cases. Randall’s experience will be instrumental in further scaling our sales organization and ensuring our business strategy stays aligned with a fast-changing market.”
