Compliance Software Leader Adds Accomplished Executives to Accelerate Growth
NEW YORK—May 8, 2024—COMPLY, a category leader of compliance software, consulting, and education resources for the financial services sector, today announced two key executive hires to drive the company’s next phase of growth. Jeff Hilk joins as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Wendy Werve has been named Chief Market Officer (CMO).
“Jeff and Wendy bring outstanding track records of success in scaling enterprise B2B SaaS businesses from single products to full solutions,” said Michael J. Stanton, CEO of COMPLY. “Their combined expertise across all customer segments, deep understanding of the GRC market, and focus on building high-performing teams will be an excellent complement to our leadership team at COMPLY, and invaluable as we continue serving existing customers and expanding our global reach.”
As CRO, Hilk will spearhead COMPLY’s revenue growth strategies and go-to-market execution across all customer segments from SMB to enterprise. He brings over 30 years of technology leadership experience, most recently as Executive Vice President and CRO at Diligent Corporation, where he helped drive annual recurring revenue from $10 million to more than $400 million during his tenure. Prior to Diligent, Hilk held various positions with large multinational companies such as NCR, AT&T, and McDonnell-Douglas Aerospace, as well as smaller tech firms such as Boundless Corporation and BlueShark Technologies.
“COMPLY is addressing a critical need with its innovative regulatory compliance solutions that enable organizations to fulfill regulatory requirements and manage risk effectively,” said Hilk. “I’m thrilled to join this talented team and leverage my domain expertise in financial services and corporate governance, coupled with my familiarity with the compliance buyer to accelerate growth and deliver an exceptional customer experience.”
Werve joins as CMO with more than 20 years of marketing leadership experience at high-growth B2B and B2B2C SaaS and tech companies. She has built and scaled world-class marketing teams adept at demand generation, messaging and positioning, digital and performance marketing, product-led growth (PLG), and brand strategy. Werve was most recently CMO at Marigold (formerly CM Group), a global MarTech provider, where her team launched the Marigold brand and more than doubled pipeline year over year. Prior to Marigold she was CMO at Virgin Pulse (now Personify Health) and previously served in leadership and marketing roles at Skillsoft, SumTotal Systems (now Cornerstone OnDemand), OpenText, Plateau Systems (now SAP), Appian, and webMethods (now IBM).
“COMPLY is solving complex challenges that every organization faces in today’s rapidly evolving compliance landscape,” said Werve. “I look forward to partnering with Michael, Jeff, and the entire team to elevate the COMPLY brand and execute impactful marketing programs that drive sustained growth.”
With these additions, COMPLY’s executive team is well-positioned to execute the company’s vision of becoming the most trusted and comprehensive compliance software solution for the financial services sector.
