With nearly 20 years of SaaS leadership, Klipboard says Hills brings a powerhouse of experience in scaling software businesses, driving customer success and delivering operational excellence.<\/p>\n

His appointment signals Klipboard\u2019s intent to “deepen its footprint” across the UK and Ireland and “unlock new growth opportunities”, the company said.<\/p>\n

James Mitchell, CEO at Klipboard Europe commented: “We\u2019re absolutely thrilled to welcome Mike to the Klipboard leadership team. His customer-first mindset and proven ability to lead high-performing teams make him the ideal person to spearhead our next phase of growth in the region.”<\/p>\n

Most recently, Hills served as chief customer officer at Phocas Software, a Klipboard partner, where he led global teams across professional services, customer success, support and operations. Under his leadership, his team supported nearly 3,000 customers using Phocas\u2019 financial planning and analytics (FP&A) platform.<\/p>\n

Mike Hills said of his appointment: “I\u2019m excited to join Klipboard at such a dynamic time. The opportunity to help shape the future of Klipboard and support customers across the UK and Ireland is incredibly energising. I look forward to working with the team to deliver even more value to our users and partners.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
