Marjorie Lao, seasoned financial executive, joins Sitecore's Board of Directors to support company in its rapid growth and investment trajectory

San Francisco, Nov. 9, 2021– Today, Sitecore®, the global leader in digital experience management software, announced that Marjorie Lao has joined its Board of Directors. Ms. Lao joins Sitecore amid its significant investment plan to further accelerate growth, announced earlier this year, which has generated four acquisitions and sparked record growth for the company.

Ms. Lao brings extensive financial and strategic expertise developed throughout her leadership positions in Europe, Asia, and the United States. She previously held positions as executive vice president and chief financial officer of the LEGO Group; senior vice president and chief financial officer of Tandberg ASA; and senior finance and strategy roles across Cisco, McKinsey & Company, and Procter & Gamble.

Jonas Persson, chairperson of the board, said, “Marjorie’s diverse experience and strong financial expertise will benefit Sitecore as the company further expands its scale and operations. The knowledge and experience she brings to Sitecore is invaluable, among others, in context of the four acquisitions completed in the last nine months and the major investment being made in our brand further intensifying Sitecore’s rapid growth trajectory. As a new member of the Sitecore board, Marjorie will be a key contributor to our current and future strategies and will support us in making that happen.”

“With the ambitious goals we have set for ourselves to continue to lead from a position of strength, our board has been a guiding lighthouse for what has become a revolution of growth,” said Steve Tzikakis, chief executive officer of Sitecore. “Marjorie’s extensive finance and strategy experience will be a tremendous asset to us as we continue to build momentum and accelerate our pace of innovation and growth globally.”

“The importance of digital experience has continued to shine in recent months, and it is an exciting time to join the Sitecore team,” said Marjorie Lao. “I’m poised and ready to share my knowledge to help Sitecore continue its fast-paced growth trajectory.”

Ms. Lao currently serves on the Board of Directors of Logitech, MYT Netherlands (mytheresa.com), and Modern Times Group MTG AB. Her appointment to Sitecore’s Board of Directors is effective as of Nov. 1, 2021.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
