It's the American way.
Competent people get fired or are paid peanuts.
Losers get promoted.
The share price magically rises (along with the US debt).
What a coincidence.
Sorry, perhaps some may like her and I'm going to get down voted, but not that she's ever been "all that", just another blah, blah, blah, cheesy DEI, "profound talk" blah, blah, blah. How she was hired as IBM's CMO? She had no consequential career.
Another DEI hire by AK that didn't last even one year.
AI is in a bubble… another short gig for her! Poor lady, I feel for her, always making the wrong decisions!
BigTime Software was launched in 2002 (23 years ago). It reached $24.2M revenue in 2024 and has a 179 person team ($16M in 2023, $5.2M in 2021).
Series A in 2011, Debt Financing in 2014, Series B in 2019, PE/Series C in 2022.
Raised $117M in total. The company has 2365 active competitors, including 173 funded and 82 that have exited. Its top competitors include companies like Notion, Smartsheet and Trello.
One source puts them at $32M in revenue (Growjo)
Only one source puts them at over $100M in revenue (Rocket Reach).
Jumping Jehoshaphat!
Carla's new boss at Big Time software is a CEO called Don India. Is this amazing coincidence or what ? Or this another amazing hand dealt by Alvind and his Pipmunks ? Carla's going to work in Professional Services...isn't that like IBM Consulting ?
