  SAN DIEGO — Dec. 5, 2023 — SOCi Inc., the leading CoMarketing Cloud Platform for multi-location enterprises, today announced additions to its leadership team which will help the company deliver a game-changing, AI-powered marketing platform to enterprises around the world. Jennifer Gause joins as SOCi’s new SVP of Revenue Operations, while Adam Rochkind joins as its new SVP of Customer Success.   SOCi has also welcomed Patrick McLean to its Industry Advisory Board, which is focused on the company’s verticalization efforts to deliver tailored solutions to industries like commercial brands, regulated industries, and more.   McLean brings key CMO experience to SOCi after holding marketing leadership roles with Walgreens, Capital One, TD Bank, Verizon, and more, often leading the companies through their own digital transformations and reinventions. As an Industry Advisory Board member, McLean will allow SOCi to leverage his expertise as a sounding board for how the company should evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of CMOs and how marketing strategists are solving problems with AI.   “Throughout my career, I’ve aspired to be on the cutting edge of tech and have been looking to tackle the multi-location marketing dynamic for a large part of it,” said McLean. “The use of data and targeting technology, along with the use of responsible intelligence to connect with customers where they spend the most time, has been evolving for a while. But SOCi’s vision in leveraging data to provide an all-in-one AI-powered marketing solution is allowing them to quickly surpass other players who haven’t yet developed an integrated solution. I’m looking forward to supporting the SOCi team as they enter this new phase of growth.”   Gause brings unique industry expertise to SOCi through her previous role as the VP of Business Operations at Upland Software. Gause will help to revitalize SOCi’s operational standards to be focused on global enterprise prospects while demonstrating the platform’s value across the entire customer journey.   “I was drawn to SOCi because of the product, people, and customers. Many recognizable brands already trust the SOCi platform, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to reach a new level,” said Gause. “My passion lies in driving ideas and innovation. The SOCi team shares this passion, and we are moving full speed ahead in scaling in new markets, with our sights set on being the leader in the global enterprise space with a visionary platform powered by AI.”   Rochkind joins SOCi after serving as a VP of Customer Success at Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud Intelligence, and most recently as the SVP of Customer Success at Mural. At SOCi, Rockhind will dive deep into understanding customer journeys and ensure that as the company grows and innovates with solutions like SOCi Genius, customers always feel valued and heard.   “I jumped aboard the SOCi train because I was equally impressed by three things: the SOCi platform that has gotten the company where it is today, SOCi’s vision to create a next-gen martech category, and the true commitment to customer success that is infused into its DNA,” said Rochkind. “It's our job to proactively delve deep, rediscover our customers’ evolving business problems, and ensure our platform continues to be the solution they need.”   These leadership additions follow the appointment of Seismic Co-Founder Ed Calnan as SOCi’s President and Chief Revenue Officer, as well as recent accolades from Entrepreneur, G2 and Pavilion. As a result of rapid revenue growth and innovative GTM launches, SOCi was chosen as a finalist in the 2023 GTM Awards by G2 + Pavilion in the Hypergrowth and GTM Innovator categories. SOCi also upheld its ranking in Entrepreneur’s recently-released Top Franchise Supplier list as a top 3 supplier in the marketing category.   To learn more about how SOCi empowers multi-location enterprises to leverage AI, drive efficiency, automate workflows, and maximize ROI, visit www.soci.ai/genius-ai//.
