Said Concord VP of Marketing Travis Bickham, “More than a business success story, Concord is a customer success story. By bringing teams throughout an organization together within a single, simple digital environment, as well as their vendor and supplier networks, we unleash the power of collaboration and agreement. The combined skills and expertise that Kai and Orit bring to our team will extend the Concord platform value horizontally throughout our customers’ organizations and build awareness of the extraordinary business impact the platform delivers.”

A product marketing veteran with extensive experience in building global platforms with features and functionality that deliver fast business impact and customer delight, Kai Ichikawa previously held product management leadership roles at Microsoft, Sysomos and UserTesting. He will be responsible for leading platform development with an emphasis on expanding customer use-cases, as well as closely partnering with customers to help them derive the greatest possible value from their investment in the Concord platform.

Orit Peleg, a truly global brand practitioner with experience across three continents, brings extensive creative, in-house and agency experience and an impressive 15-year track-record in building some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Audi, SurveyMonkey, Google Cloud and Coca-Cola. She will be responsible for building and evangelizing the Concord brand through all marketing platforms and channels to promote the incredible outcomes organizations experience when they have the best possible collaboration tools.
