confidence in Yamini’s ability. He said, “As Dharmesh and I have thought about what the next 15 years and beyond look like for HubSpot, it’s become clear to us that we have an opportunity to make some important changes now that will set us up for long term success. I’ve also been thinking a lot about how I can have the most impact on HubSpot moving forward, and moving to the Executive Chairman role feels like a natural fit. That transition wouldn’t be possible if I weren’t incredibly confident in Yamini’s ability to lead HubSpot.”
Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and CTO of HubSpot lauded Yamimi’s accomplishments and leadership qualities that improved the company. He said, “Since the day she arrived, Yamini has made HubSpot better. From reducing friction for our customers, to leading the company with clarity and empathy, Yamini has proven she is ready to take on the role of CEO to help both HubSpot and our customers grow better. I know I speak for both Brian and I when I say that we’re thrilled to have her take on this role and can’t wait to work together to lead the company.”
Rangan expressed delight over her success. She also revealed her excitement on taking over the company and thanked the founders for believing in her abilities. She said, “I’m deeply humbled, grateful and excited to take on this new opportunity in partnership with Brian, Dharmesh, and the entire HubSpot team. It was Brian and Dharmesh’s visionary leadership as founders that got us here today, and that leadership will continue to be invaluable as HubSpot grows. I’m excited to continue working together to build innovative products, create a remarkable culture for our employees, and ultimately make HubSpot the #1 CRM platform for scaling companies.”
