Verkada, a provider of cloud-based physical security appliances and software, has named Eric Salava (pictured) as its chief revenue officer. Salava will lead Verkada's global go-to-market and revenue generation strategy as the company continues to scale.
"Our growth to date has been incredible, our platform supports more than 1m active devices for 22,000 customers across 70 countries," said Filip Kaliszan, CEO and co-founder of Verkada. "With Eric at the helm of our go-to-market strategy, we are well-positioned for the next chapter of Verkada's expansion."
Salava brings decades of experience scaling global commercial operations, and joins Verkada from Conga, where he also served as chief revenue officer, overseeing its global go-to-market strategy and sales organisation. Prior to Conga, Salava was executive vice president of North America, Asia Pacific & Japan sales and operations at Informatica. He also previously led sales and operations functions at both Oracle and BEA Systems.
"Verkada's platform helps protect millions of people across the world," said Salava. "I can't think of a more important – or needed – organisation to scale globally today. I am thrilled to build on its already incredible momentum, making even more communities safer."
Verkada's six product lines - video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace, and intercoms - provide building security through an integrated, secure cloud-based software platform. Over 22,000 organisations across 70 countries use Verkada as their physical security layer.
