Brivo, a provider of cloud-based access control and smart building technologies, has this month announced the appointment of Maureen Perrelli, a seasoned tech sales leader, as chief revenue officer charged with driving the company's global expansion and accelerating its growth, effective immediately.
Per a press announcement, Perrelli is an executive with over 25 years of cross-functional leadership experience. She has led global sales, SaaS, cloud, security, marketing and presales teams that range from $50K to $4 billion in revenue, covering operations from small business to enterprise.
Most recently, Perrelli was the chief channel officer at Secureworks. Her experience also comes from her roles at NCR as VP of Global Channels sales, VP World Wide Cloud Channel sales at Oracle, VP of Global Channel Sales within the digital solutions division of General Electric Oil and Gas, and holding various posts supporting EMC Corporation's sales and sales programs, ultimately as VP of Global Channel Distribution, where she was responsible for driving the success of EMC's $4 billion distribution business.
Steve Van Till, Brivo's founder and CEO, commented, "Maureen brings a wealth of experience in growing high technology businesses around the world, which is critical to the Brivo expansion strategy. We are entering our next phase of growth in the expanding smart spaces market, and Maureen's experience leading global enterprise sales teams and channel partners is a perfect match to our goals. We are particularly excited that she can bring her cyber security experience to the physical security and commercial property access management platform for which the Brivo is so well known."
Perrelli holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Franklin Pierce University and is currently based in the U.S. at Brivo's office in Bethesda, Maryland.
Perrelli said, "I am thrilled to join Brivo at this pivotal moment. Having been in the cloud-based enterprise cybersecurity industry, I believe my background lends itself well to the tremendous opportunities in smart spaces as the real estate market embraces digital transformation. In this era of hybrid, flex, co-working, and other innovative strategies for people and spaces, we are seeing that owners and tenants are prioritizing user experience with respect to both security and convenience. Brivo's deep technology and our more than 1,500 channel partners is expected to make us uniquely positioned to grow our market share in this rapidly changing space."
In 2021, Brivo entered into a definitive merger agreement with Crown PropTech Acquisitions (NYSE: CPTK) that will result in Brivo becoming a publicly listed company on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbol "BRVS."
