We Eat, Sleep, and Think About Recruiting

Dan Finnigan
Chief Executive Officer

Dan Finnigan is Jobvite’s fearless leader, bringing over twenty-five years of experience launching and growing high-powered internet businesses. But Dan wasn’t always an executive. In his college days, he played drums in a rock band, and after college, he worked a number of years as a newspaper reporter. These jobs required a healthy balance of creativity, autonomy, and networking skill. As Dan continued his post-graduate career, with companies such as Yahoo and Knight Ridder, he never forgot the importance of those elements.

Today, Dan works to ensure that Jobvite’s technology helps enterprises source dedicated, high-quality talent, while also assisting job seekers in finding meaningful work. He excels at leading by example, and he continues to drive innovation in everything we do.

“We are changing how companies build great teams and how people build their careers,” says Dan. “Jobvite solutions make a real difference in employee happiness and satisfaction—and they make it easier for businesses to attract candidates looking for greater balance.”

Ali Syed
Chief Technology Officer

Ali Syed, Jobvite’s Chief Technology Officer, joined Jobvite in 2008 and is the driving force behind the Jobvite infrastructure and the continual innovation of our products and platform. With over 20 years of software research and development experience, including many years at Sun Microsystems where he built “Platform as a Service” and developer tools, Ali’s passions boil down to two things: building things and soccer. Ali is a regular contributor and consumer of open source technologies and likes applying them to continually improve recruiting software. After hours, he can be found playing badminton, soccer, futsal, ping pong, foosball, or FIFA with jobvite buddies.

“I knew that i wanted to be an engineer when I was 4 years old and started programming in elementary school. I suppose that my path was destined. After all, my favorite saying is, “There are no coincidences.””

Tim Lambert
Chief Revenue Officer

Tim Lambert held quite a few jobs as a kid—including a stint in high school boxing guitars for Fender. But even when the tasks were menial, the responsibility he held early on created a lifelong passion for contributing toward something successful. Today, several decades later, Tim has cultivated that passion into a career as a leader in executive sales management and business development.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Tim has proven himself as a results-oriented expert in building and managing teams that drive enterprise growth. He has a knack for listening to and understanding customer needs, and then crafting development deals that produce optimal outcomes for everyone involved. His strength is in his ability to balance business strategy with opportunity.

“Today’s enterprises have very real issues to contend with,” says Tim. “I enjoy helping companies see how Jobvite’s innovative technology can give them real competitive advantage while addressing those common challenges.”

Peter Maloney
Chief Financial Officer

Peter is Jobvite’s Chief Financial Officer, responsible for leading business and financial strategy, driving the company’s business model and facilitating growth. Peter brings extensive experience as a financial leader in Silicon Valley, most recently serving as CFO at E2Open, where he was responsible for all worldwide finance, administration and information technology operations and led their IPO. Before that, he served as CFO at SNOCAP and CFO and VP of Finance at Keynote Systems, directing financial performance and completing multiple acquisitions. In his free time, you can find Peter watching basketball or playing soccer with his son – though he also enjoys taking the more scenic route, be it walking the Bay Trail or hiking in redwood forests.

As CFO of Jobvite, Peter brings to the table 25 years of financial management expertise with both public and private companies, including 14 years of executive leadership for software as a service (SaaS) companies. He is a Certified Public Accountant, and holds an MBA in Corporate Finance from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, as well as a BBA in Economics from Temple University’s Fox School of Business.

“Throughout my career, I have focused on creating high-quality teams, and mentoring team members to drive strong, balanced growth, and have fun doing it,” says Peter. “I’m really excited to be part of the team that helps Jobvite continue to excel as a market leader.”

Rachel Bitte
Chief People Officer

Rachel is Chief People Officer at Jobvite, aka head honcho of finding and keeping the geniuses who work here. She has over 18 years of human resources leadership and process excellence experience, and has a proven track record of working closely with executives to lead engaged, high-performing workforces. In her free time, she is all about anything outdoors that burns calories, including road riding, mountain biking, snowboarding and backpacking. She’s very excited about anything that replaces the calories found in great drinks and good food, specifically international cuisine.

As Jobvite’s Chief People Officer, Rachel brings with her a wealth of HR experience—particularly in the tech industry—with a focus on change leadership and talent management.

“I’m passionate about human resources, and how business success and hiring go together. I’ve been lucky enough to explore all different sides of the field throughout my career, from customer care to business initiatives. Now, at Jobvite, I’m able to tie aspects from all of my previous experiences into one position.”

Robert Tsao
Chief Product Officer

Robert Tsao is leading strategic growth and development at Jobvite, a big job that fits the vast background he has in the technology arena. Robert has 20 years of experience building software and Internet companies, and has worked as an entrepreneur, strategy executive, venture capitalist, and investment banker. He founded Upmo and AirSurf, and worked at companies like Taleo, Meltwater Group, and Vertex Management (among others).

This diverse work history has given Robert a multilayered view into how successful businesses operate, a tremendous asset when it comes to supporting Jobvite’s continued growth. As Chief Product Officer, Robert oversees the development and execution of our corporate strategy and proactively identifies opportunities to accelerate growth and profitability.

“We’re living in an innovative age unlike any other, and with its innovation and success, Jobvite is right on the forefront of the Silicon Valley tech battlefield.”

Matt Singer
Vice President, Marketing

Matt Singer is Jobvite’s fearless marketing leader. He’s officially been in marketing and sales for the past 15 years, but informally for 30+ years starting with cookie, lemonade, and lawn mowing businesses in his neighborhood at the age of 8. Outside of work, Matt is a proud husband, father, and “manphibian.” He tries to spend as much time as possible in the water abalone diving, fishing, and surfing.

A self-proclaimed data geek, Matt has spent his career channeling that data obsession into building great brands and scalable marketing machines. His career in B2B has focused primarily on the world of HR software, but recruiting is his biggest professional passion.

“Like it or not, we spend most of our lives at work. So coming up with innovative ways to help companies find the right talent and jobseekers find the right company is something I’m incredibly passionate about,” Matt says. “This is the most transformative time in the labor market since the dawn of industrialization. Access to information, retiring baby-boomers, increasing demand for skilled labor, and decreasing employee tenure requires constant innovation."

"With employees changing jobs every couple years, you have to have the most innovative products in recruiting, and Jobvite has been building those products since its inception.”

Matt McLaughlin
Vice President, Mid-Market & Enterprise Sales

As Vice President of Mid-Market & Enterprise Sales, Matt McLaughlin is determined to help Jobvite conquer the world (or at least the world of recruiting). He has over 20 years of experience selling well-established products / categories as well as pioneering brand new technologies at the enterprise level. During his tenure working in global and worldwide sales, he lived in the Asia-Pacific region for three years and has also spent an extended amount of time in the UK and Europe.

As VP of Mid-Market & Enterprise Sales, Matt’s goal is to ensure that Jobvite is successful in the enterprise. He describes his management style as leading by example and learning with his team while also teaching them.

“The space is incredibly crowded with technology partners that claim to do what we do and they don’t. They don’t compare on any front. The Enterprise team has to be the authority on the space and on Jobvite to help ensure that all prospects understand the profound impact our product can have on their company. It’s a tough task, be we are going to make it happen!”

Skip Hilton
Vice President, Business Development

Skip Hilton is a man of many talents. He understands the intricacies of building partnerships, he knows how to drive revenue, and—like anyone who once worked as a bartender—he just gets people.

Today, Skip applies his talents, along with over 20 years’ experience in business development and B2B Internet and enterprise software, to his work at Jobvite. He excels at unlocking new opportunities that foster not only Jobvite’s continued growth and innovation, but the growth and innovation of our partners and customers as well.

“I believe in the power of partnerships,” Skip says. “Our customers get more value from Jobvite when we work together with other providers that help them recruit better.  I am glad that I can help make that happen.”
