- Hi, I'm Brian Halligan.
I'm excited to share two great pieces of news
with you today.
First, I'm coming back to HubSpot stronger than ever.
I wanna thank all of the HubSpoters
who took such incredible care
of our customers and the company while I was out.
I couldn't be more proud and grateful.
Now, while I was out,
I've thought a lot about how I can add the most value
to HubSpot, it's customers, partners, employees, everyone.
And so I'm gonna be coming back in a new role
as the executive chairman of HubSpot.
So the second thing I get to do today
is introduce you to HubSpot's new CEO, Yamini Rangan.
Yamini was hired as our chief customer officer
and has been running HubSpot in my absence
with help from our amazing leadership team.
The results she's delivered speak for themselves.
But that's not the only reason
she's the best pick for this role.
Since she arrived, Yamini has made HubSpot better.
We wanna be the number one CRM for scaling organizations,
and Yamini has been living and breathing the CRM space
for two decades.
She knows the space cold, care deeply about our customers,
and is a seasoned, compassionate executive
who has built at scale at other terrific companies.
Yamini, I'm thrilled to partner with you
to write HubSpot's next chapter.
- Thank you so much, Brian.
And I know I speak for everyone at HubSpot
when I say I'm so glad you're doing well and on demand.
I can't wait to partner with you and Dharmesh
to write the next chapter at HubSpot.
It's the honor of a lifetime to be HubSpot's CEO,
and I'm really excited about the journey ahead.
I joined HubSpot with a focus on our customers.
We have over 120,000 customers globally,
and I knew you had built an incredible customer base.
Having been in your seat for the past few months,
one thing is very clear,
our customers depend on us for content,
community, and a customer experience they truly love.
We have a unique opportunity
to help millions of organizations grow better.
In addition to our customers,
our culture is the most important asset.
Our customers and partners trust us
to build, market, sell, and serve as a remarkable product.
And to do that, HubSpot's culture
has to remain a competitive advantage.
I look forward to working with you and Dharmesh
to ensure HubSpot is a company people truly love
and to scale a culture
our employees are proud to be part of.
- A few things stick out to me
as remarkably special about Yamini as CEO of HubSpot.
First, she's been in the CRM space for decades.
She built and bolstered enterprise
grade-powered organizations like Workday and SAP.
She also built amazing consumer grade experiences
at Dropbox, awesome companies.
Yamini inherently curious and has a growth mindset.
The three of us share a commitment
to getting better as we grow and learning
from both the successes and failures
of others and ourselves.
Finally, she's proven, without a doubt,
that she can do this job.
Her earnings results speak to her exceptional execution,
clarity of thinking, and empathetic leadership.
- We have a unique opportunity ahead of us.
We have incredible customers, a remarkable culture,
and an opportunity to do something
that few organizations have done really well before.
We have the opportunity to build an organization
that has massive global impact,
while maintaining the personal connection with customers.
A company that makes longterm strategic bets to win,
a company that is global talent magnet
that people thrive and love to be a part of.
I am so excited to get started
and partner with Brian and Dharmesh
to make customers, partners, employees, and investors proud.
- When Dharmesh and I started HubSpot 15 years ago,
our goal was to build a company
that future generations will be proud of.
We're still in the very early innings
of what HubSpot can become,
so I'm excited to join forces with Yamini
to write the next chapter of HubSpot's success.
- To our HubSpot customers, partners,
employees, and investors,
I am really excited to grow better with all of you.
Let's do this.
