“I’m excited to announce I’ve joined HubSpot as director, sales strategy and operations. Throughout the interview process and continued conversations with Brett Hogan, Mark Barry and Eimear Marrinan, it became clear that this was an opportunity I simply could not refuse.
“HubSpot’s incredible growth trajectory, inspiring mission and the calibre of the team are truly exciting. I’m so excited to dive in, learn from the best and contribute to HubSpot’s continued success. Here’s to new beginnings.”
Kenny joined Stripe in 2021, and during her time there she said she led a world-class team, contributing tens of millions to the bottom line and hundreds of millions to the top line.
