16 May Jiva Welcomes Jarrod Germano to the Team as Chief Revenue Officer
Jiva is pleased to announce that Jarrod Germano, previously SVP Sales at Tech Mahindra and The HCI Group, joins us today as Chief Revenue Officer at Jiva.
Jarrod has deep experience in business development and sales within the healthcare/tech space focusing on US and UK territories. He has an intimate understanding of how technology in healthcare is deployed in its various facets, having been exposed to a wide range of applications from a consultancy perspective.
His experience is second to none, with a proven track record of $100Ms of sales as well as C-level reporting experience, having managed dozens of employees in his immediate team. Moreover, Jarrod has been able to function in this role in two vital capacities: firstly in the HCI Group within a small Jiva-like organisation and secondly in a more corporate environment within Tech Mahindra. As such he has overseen and looked after the rapid growth of a company, from start-up to MNC.
As Jiva’s new CRO, Jarrod’s main role in the short term will be to accelerate growth and sales across the US and UK, taking control of the entire Sales and Business Development function. He will be responsible for global sales – both strategy and execution – and will be tasked with growing the sales team around him to ensure the foundations are laid for Jiva to realise its ambitions to become one the fastest growing tech companies on the planet.
Manish Patel, CEO of Jiva.ai, said:
There comes a time in a start-up’s journey that represents a pivotal moment – a point in time where a critical decision is made that completely changes the trajectory of the company. We’ve seen it in many of the largest names on the market. I believe this is one of those moments, and one of those hires. I’m incredibly excited to welcome Jarrod to the team. He’s joining us at a time when we’re just getting all of our ducks in a row to scale. And I can’t think of a better person to spearhead the revenue generation effort than Jarrod. Moreover, he’s a lovely human being with a great work ethic and personality; I have no doubt he’ll fit right into the team and its culture.
Kevin McDonnell, Chairman of Jiva.ai, said:
Over the last 12 months, the interest in Jiva’s platform has been exponential. The time is right to hire an experienced business development professional such as Jarrod to deliver value for our customers, to support them in adopting our low/no code AI platform to build deep learning models without the need for data scientists, and partner with them around the world to help shape the future of their respective industries. I would like to personally welcome Jarrod to the team and look forward to working with him.
