Uptempo is the new combination of three leading innovators in the marketing operations technology space: Allocadia, BrandMaker and Hive9.Having played a key role in the exit process for Allocadia’s high-revenue-multiple, PE-rollup acquisition in mid-2021, I joined the executive team of the new combined entity to support integration and successfully lead the customer experience and customer revenue functions for 18 months, through re-branding and a host of other major changes. A great experience, which made it a difficult decision to step away in early 2023 but it was the right time to take a family focused break and to re-center for the next thing.Uptempo exists to help marketers to lead with confidence and love their jobs and I was incredibly proud to support all of our amazing customers and our great customer facing people to accelerate enterprise marketing operations worldwide.
