Press Release: Airport management platform bolsters global leadership team to support growth in 2024
Boston, USA – December 5, 2023: Intelligent airport management platform, AeroCloud, today announces that it has expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Jeff Gore as Vice President (VP) of Global Sales. Gore joins during a period of rapid growth for the company and will spearhead the sales function to grow company revenues through the expansion of AeroCloud’s network of airport customers.
Gore’s expertise complements AeroCloud’s position as the only cloud-native software-as-a-service (SaaS) management platform in the airport sector. The last 15 years of his 25-year career have focused on scaling SaaS businesses in North America and Europe. He was instrumental in leading Axceler, a first mover in the SharePoint space, from $300,000 to $30 million in sales over four years before its sale in 2013, and when appointed CRO at CybelAngel in 2021 managed a commercial team of 60 people to grow its partnerships by 200%.
Gore will propel AeroCloud’s go-to-market strategy as it continues to experience rapid growth following its Series A funding round in February 2023. Based in Boston, he will be responsible for a commercial team of 15 people in North America and Europe, galvanising them in the company’s customer-centric approach to customer acquisition, growth and retention. He will also support AeroCloud’s business development, customer success and bid teams in meeting the demands of airport customers to power growth in 2024.
George Richardson, Co-founder and CEO of AeroCloud, said: “As we pursue our goal of cementing AeroCloud as the trailblazer in airport management technology, having a passionate and experienced commercial leader in our team is crucial. Jeff epitomises this and brings with him also a deep understanding of propelling the sales function in scaling SaaS businesses. He has seen what works and what doesn’t, and he’ll be invaluable in driving forward AeroCloud’s go-to-market strategy and revenues as we enter the next stage of our growth.”
Jeff Gore, VP of Global Sales at AeroCloud, said: “AeroCloud is a first mover in its industry, and its mission and passion make me excited to be part of the team and journey. A company like AeroCloud can be nimble and move fast, which is invaluable to airport customers, necessitating scalable digital solutions to solve pain points and futureproof their businesses. I am delighted to be joining George and the rest of the team. I look forward to bringing our innovative technology to additional airports across the globe, driving improved operations, commercial outcomes and passenger experiences.”
Jeff Gore’s appointment follows the appointment of Uri Guterman as VP of Product in October 2023, as well as the launch of its new industry report, Getting on the Runway to Growth, which seeks to help airport leaders recognise how they can seize on this period of change to transform their operations.
