Apollo.io, the world’s leading B2B sales intelligence and engagement platform, announced the appointment of Shek Viswanathan as their Chief Product Officer.
Shek comes to Apollo after serving as a Chief Product Officer at Qualtrics, where he managed a portfolio of digital and analytics tools and helped guide them through an acquisition and IPO, bringing them to over one billion in revenue. Before that, Shek spent 17 years in Product roles, including working on legendary products such as “Words with Friends” from Zynga.
“These growth numbers position us perfectly to continue the market wave we are seeing as tens of thousands of users join Apollo each week,” said Apollo CEO and co-founder Tim Zheng. “Bringing Shek onboard has augmented our already world-class product team, as we bring about a generational product that is superior in quality to alternatives and solves all your GTM needs without breaking the bank.”
Specifically, Apollo, having just raised a $110 million series C round (led by Sequoia) in March, is focused on building out their product suite that makes world-class GTM tools focused on the sales intelligence and sales engagement categories.
“We are where we are now because of our product,” said Tim. “Bringing on Shek will be a force multiplier, accelerating and enhancing all the work we are doing. This next year will be frightening for many in SaaS, but we’ve never been more optimistic about the future here at Apollo – couldn’t be more excited that Shek will be joining us as we change the tech stack script for B2B companies throughout the world.”
