2024年5月14日 - 10:00PM
Virdee, a leader in guest experience technology and check-in
automation, today announced the appointment of Paul Pellman as the
company’s first CEO. Pellman joins the Virdee executive team
following a 35-year career in the technology industry and will lead
Virdee through its next phase of growth, building on the strength
of the company’s highly regarded hotel guest experience technology
and reputation for innovative solutions. Virdee Co-Founders
Branigan Mulcahy and Nadav Cornberg will add titles of Chief
Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively.
This appointment marks Paul’s third time as CEO of an
Austin-based technology company. Previously, Pellman was CEO of
Adometry, a market leader in multi-touch attribution to clarify the
consumer purchase journey. Adometry was acquired by Google under
Pellman’s leadership. Most recently, Pellman was CEO of Kazoo, a
Vista Equity Partners portfolio company in the employee
experience software industry.
This hire comes six months after Virdee announced its $12.4
million Series A financing led by Moneta Ventures and coincides
with two additional key hires. Former Vice President of Product at
Narvar, Kelli Lin, has been appointed Virdee’s new Vice President
of Product, and Royi Haddad, prior engineering leader at Hippo
Insurance, has been appointed Vice President of Engineering.
“We are thrilled to bring Paul Pellman to Virdee to lead the
company as it evolves into its next phase,” said Branigan Mulcahy,
Co-Founder and COO of Virdee. “Since its founding in 2020, Virdee’s
corporate growth and the market adoption of our technology has
always been ahead of expectations. Paul’s experience and leadership
will ensure we maintain that momentum. It’s an exciting time at
Virdee and Co-Founder Nadav Cornberg and I wholeheartedly welcome
Paul, Kelli and Royi to the company.”
"I am honored to be the CEO of Virdee and ready to get to work
as Virdee becomes more than a company name but also the word that
is synonymous with guest experience technology,” said Paul Pellman,
CEO of Virdee. “Virdee’s leadership is talented and visionary as
evidenced by the company’s incredible traction with enterprise
clients. I look forward to working with Branigan and Nadav in
taking the company to the next level, realizing their vision of
digitally connecting guests and hotels while seamlessly automating
all front desk transactions and amenities. Together, we will
continue to deliver exceptional value, make hotel stays more
elevated than ever before while we grow our roster of leading hotel
and resort clients."
