As Zylo looks to continue scaling its SaaS operations, with plans to double its workforce in 2021 to meet demand, the executive appointments of Horoho and Grewal will ensure leadership of operations and growth.
With Gartner forecasting SaaS to grow to $117.7 billion in 2021, Zylo looks to capitalise on demand in this market going forward in order to realise its potential.
“Tim and Bob are innovative industry leaders with impressive track records of scaling global SaaS companies,” said Eric Christopher, CEO of Zylo.
“As Zylo prepares to double its footprint and headcount in 2021, Tim’s experience leading best-of-breed technology teams to optimise solutions, coupled with Bob’s proven ability to accelerate revenue growth, will propel the company’s leadership and further extend our market position.
“Their vast experience overseeing the development and operations of high growth SaaS companies will be a valuable asset to Zylo, its partners, and most importantly, customers.
“We look forward to their leadership and guidance in supporting our continued growth and leadership position.”
