Personio hires first CMO, bringing deep marketing experience from Salesforce & Dropbox

Personio, Europe’s leading HR software company for small and mid-sized organizations, welcomes Naman Khan as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Naman joins to scale the marketing function and help lead the company through its next phase of growth. He brings expertise from several leading technology companies and will focus on enabling SMEs across Europe to unlock the power of their people.

Hanno Renner, co-founder and CEO of Personio, said: “Successful organizations are built on a foundation of great people. HR departments are a vital part of this equation, building a culture where everyone can thrive. Having Naman on the team will help us build more connections with this important group. His wealth of experience in driving impactful marketing strategies and connecting with diverse audiences comes at a perfect time as we continue to empower HR teams across Europe.” 

Naman joins Geraldine MacCarthy (CRO), Jonas Rieke (COO), Maria Angelidou-Smith (CPTO), and Birgit Haderer (CFO) on Personio’s Executive Team, reporting to Hanno Renner. Naman’s hire comes at an exciting time for Personio, which has recently underlined its continued commitment to serving customers and its strong growth agenda with new product additions and a focus on hiring great engineering talent.  

Naman Khan, Chief Marketing Officer at Personio, said: “Personio has already enabled 10,000+ European HR teams to have more impact and focus on what matters. HR professionals are a special community that manage so many functions critical to an employee including on-boarding, performance management and payroll, to name a few. By removing the admin overhead & complexity they currently face, they are able to finally focus on the real work of empowering their people, not the ‘busy work’ of HR operations. I’m looking forward to partnering with and learning from Europe’s vibrant HR community, it’s a wonderful mission to support.”

At Dropbox Naman led expansion into the commercial B2B segment, scaling the business to over $1 billion in revenue.
