Fastbase Inc. Brings Former Google Executive Onboard as Chief Executive Officer
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2020 / Fastbase Inc. (OTC: FBSE), one of the leading data analytics companies today announced the appointment of Kevin Rodgers as Chief Executive Officer. He brings more than 13 years of experience with Google where he led teams in sales, customer success and operations and worked with some of the largest brands in the world.
This is a timely and strategic business move which establishes a winning combination: Kevin Rodgers' experience in growing the Google ads and ad-tech business in with Rasmus Refer's innovative and entrepreneurial tech product development.
At the beginning of the year Rasmus Refer, as CEO of Fastbase, laid out the company's plans for the year in the 2020 New Year Letter including:
the new appointment of an ex-Googler as CEO
a new release of Fastbase WebLeads V5
a Data Division Office in Düsseldorf to expand sales and the development of "intelligent data-supply" for the Enterprise market in Europe and the US.
Fastbase delivers on the first part of that plan by appointing Kevin Rodgers to lead the company as CEO.
This appointment means that Rasmus Refer will have the valuable time afforded him to lead new technical product development and build upon the technical foundation he has established for Fastbase. He will be able to continue his vision of expanding the development of "intelligent data-supply" for the European and US markets, focus more on engineering and allow Kevin Rodgers, CEO, to concentrate on company strategy and operations, business development, marketing and sales.
With the new Executive team, Fastbase intends to ramp the speed of product development to bring innovations to market more quickly. Fastbase will continue investment in R & D and in an effort to make further advances into AI and data-driven marketing automation. One of the key, planned deliverables will be the communication of the executive team's vision for the Fastbase product suite with a product road map.
"Companies are looking towards technology and data to provide insights faster and at a larger scale by identifying aspects of the business that can be accelerated – one is a constant stream of leads which is fundamental for revenue growth and the other is information that can provide a significant advantage in competitive markets" says Kevin Rodgers, CEO. He goes on to explain the company's mission: "Through the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence Fastbase provides our customers with actionable leads and business-specific data-driven insights to simplify and accelerate the means to scale revenue."
Following the appointment of Kevin Rodgers, Fastbase will be opening an office in California later this year. The new CEO envisions a new era for Fastbase and concluded with his mission: "to lead Fastbase into the next generation of global data solutions providers, partnering with businesses of any size to help drive their top-line revenue."
