BetterCloud Hires New Channel Chief to Spearhead First Partner Program

SaaS operations management provider BetterCloud has hired Emily Cataldo as its first Vice President of Channel.

Cataldo, formerly of Accenture, will execute the strategy, management and expansion of BetterCloud’s channel partner community. Cataldo will be responsible for resellers, services and distribution partners across all the applications the company supports.

BetterCloud provides SaaS security for applications such as G Suite, Dropbox, Slack and Office 365. The company recently closed a $60 million funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures, and closed a record quarter in 2017 with 70 percent quarter-over-quarter sales of the new platform.

“As our platform becomes more and more sophisticated, our ability to drive success for our customers through channel partners will continue to differentiate us in the marketplace,” said BetterCloud CEO David Politis . “Emily’s passion and experience building teams and developing strong alliances with companies like Google will be invaluable to our business. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome her on board in this next phase of growth.”

At Accenture, Cataldo was senior manager and part of the leadership team for its Google practice. Prior to Accenture, she was the director of alliances at Cloud Sherpas, where she was responsible for managing the global partnership with Google and a cloud network of about 40 ISVs.
