The former co-founder and CEO of TagMan, a SaaS-based tag management, data and attribution company, has been appointed as chief revenue officer by cloud-based digital marketers IgnitionOne.
Jon Baron brings over 15 years of digital, managerial and SaaS experience to his new position where he will be responsible for overseeing global sales efforts. However it was the company and its platform, rather than the role that caught Baron’s eye.
“Today’s marketing technology landscape is fraught with disparate platforms and integration issues. IgnitionOne’s ability to simplify things for marketers trying to cope in a fragmented world really appealed to me,” said Baron.
