HubSpot's Next Chapter

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 want to thank all of the Hubspotters 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. Its customers, partners, employees, everyone. And so I'm going to 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 want to be the number one CRM for scaling organizations. And Yamini has been living and breathing the CRM space for two years. Decades. She knows the space cold, cares deeply about our customers, and is a seasoned, compassionate executive who has built its 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 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 service 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 is inherently curious and has a growth mindset. The three of us share a commitment to getting better as grow and learn from both the successes and failures of others and ourselves. Finally, she's proven without a doubt that she can do this job. Our 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 that personal connection with customers. A company that makes long term strategic bets to win. A company that is a 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 would be proud of. We're still in the very early innings of what HubSpot can become, so I'm excited to join forces with Yamny 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.
