Description
Scaling your company requires planning, timing, and a good amount of hustle. The Communitech Scaling Series are invite-only and bring speakers who have scaled the summit to help you on your journey.
This month, Communitech is excited to welcome Steve Johnson, President & COO of Vidyard.
Steve joined Vidyard in March 2016 and is responsible for continuing to scale Vidyard’s global sales and customer success programs while helping the company expand into new markets.
This is your chance to pick the brain of one of the key strategic leaders in our community. Someone who’s been there, done that, and is willing to help you get there too.
Before joining Vidyard, Steve held the role of Chief Revenue Officer for Vancouver-based Hootsuite, where he helped the company capitalize on the huge rise of social media for business. During Steve’s tenure at Hootsuite, the company grew from a sub-$100 million valuation to over $1 billion and from 27 employees to more than 800.
In addition to his job at Vidyard, Steve also serves on the advisory boards of Mobify, MarketLinc and Bench Accounting. Prior to his four-and-a-half years at Hootsuite, Steve worked for both pre-IPO software companies and post IPO software companies such as Scopus (Siebel), Constant Contact, Blackbaud, Apropos, Progress, Visual Insights and Voice Automation.
To maintain the intimacy of these events, seating is limited to twenty five attendees.

We help founders:
