ENDORSEMENTS
"Andrew Gilboy did a terrific job leading our EMEA Sales efforts at Demandware for a number of years. He built a European wide sales organization virtually from scratch, as we had previously distributed almost entirely through partners. He also led successful entries into a number of countries where we had never before done business - such as Italy, Spain, and the Nordic area."
Tom Ebling, CEO Demandware
"I hired Andrew into Stellent when we had a very small operation in the UK, and during challenging times for the industry in 2001/2. Andrew immediately made decisive and positive changes to transform the UK operation, before progressing to lead the European team to great success always delivering on the revenue goals before Stellent was acquired by Oracle"
Vern Hanzlik, CEO Stellent
"Andrew grew our EMEA business from early stages into a sustainable business at scale through the IPO and eventually to the multi-billion dollar acquisition by Salesforce. He possesses the rare combination of leadership that can scale from smaller stage start-ups of a few people through critical mass operations with hundreds of people. Besides being a consummate professional, Andrew is a great family man, accomplished athlete, and world traveler."
Steven Chung, President BigCommerce. (I worked with Steven at both Demandware and PagerDuty)
"Andrew manages to combine the rigour required in managing a near $100m business and yet maintain a strategic and long-sighted view of the future of social networking technologies."
