CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zylotech today announced the expansion of its management team, appointing Patrick O’Brien as the company’s Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In an increasingly evolving landscape, the role of the CRO has become increasingly important in establishing operating procedures that keep organizations oriented towards success. In this new role, Patrick O’Brien will be responsible for leading Zylotech’s sales and business efforts to support the company’s next phase of growth and its expanding go-to-market plans.

While being a key member of the executive management team, O’Brien will lead the core business strategy across the company’s various business silos enabling the management team to gain valuable new insights.

Previous to those positions, he was on the leadership teams of more than half a dozen successful internet, advertising and marketing startups.
