Cloud Dashboard Startup Klipfolio Announces Chief Marketing Officer, Respected Analytics Veteran Mychelle Mollot

Klipfolio, rapidly growing new entrant in the cloud dashboard market, today announced the appointment of Mychelle Mollot as the organization’s Chief Marketing Officer. A respected Analytics industry veteran with more than 25 years of management experience at global leaders IBM and Cognos, Mollot has an established reputation of driving successful marketing and product strategy in the analytics marketplace.

“Mychelle Mollot has a proven track record of leadership in analytics space. Her decades of work with industry leaders and customers, her long tenure as a leading marketer in a highly competitive space and her vision for growth will propel Klipfolio forward,” said Allan Wille, CEO of Klipfolio. “Her passion and experience will further enhance what Klipfolio can offer our existing base of customers and expand our market to new users looking to create stunning, sophisticated visualizations that drive business insights and performance. We are thrilled to welcome Mychelle to Klipfolio.”

Mollot joins Klipfolio from IBM where she spent the past six years in senior marketing leadership roles for multi-billion dollar businesses, including CMO of the Business Analytics division and CMO of the Websphere division. While in those roles, she has also presided over onboarding and integrated marketing planning in support of the acquisition of six analytics companies, including SPSS, Varicent and Algorithmics. In addition, she led the IBM’s Smarter Analytics initiative, which was a key pillar of the Smarter Planet strategy.

Mollot came to IBM through the acquisition of Ottawa-based Cognos in 2008, where she held executive leadership roles in the areas of Product Marketing, Market Strategy, PR and Analyst Relations.

Klipfolio, which launched at the beginning of 2012, has experienced dramatic year-over-year sales of its cloud business dashboard solution. The company has increased its customer base 2.8x year over year, growing to over 2,000 customers in 76 countries and a growing list of 140 partners worldwide.

"I am passionate about the power of analytics to fuel business growth and increase competitiveness. Every day, Klipfolio customers use our solution to drive intelligent, data-driven business action,” said Mollot. “Klipfolio’s magic comes from the combination of three key elements, ability for the business to design and build their Klipfolio dashboard without IT, native access to 100s of data sources and the ability to mash those data sources together into single visualizations and a remarkably low per-user price point of $20/user. I’m really looking forward to working with Allan and his team to continue to drive forward Klipfolio’s demonstrated market momentum and tell the Klipfolio story to a global audience.”
