Heap Names Lynn Girotto As Chief Marketing Officer

Heap Inc., the worldwide leader in product analytics and digital insights, is proud to welcome Lynn Girotto as the company’s first Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). With over 20 years of senior-level experience leading global marketing teams at Tableau, Starbucks, and Microsoft, Girotto will be responsible for growing brand awareness, scaling Heap’s marketing function, and leveraging a data-driven approach as Heap brings digital insights to companies across the globe.

Girotto gained a deep understanding of the analytics space at Tableau, where she spent four years as Senior Vice President, Marketing, with responsibility for all customer-facing marketing initiatives, including digital media, channel, regional, and customer engagement marketing. While at Tableau, she scaled the Global Demand Generation capability to help fuel the company’s growth to over $1 Billion. Most recently, Girotto was CMO at Amperity, where she dramatically increased demand while creating and executing the company’s integrated marketing strategy. She has also served as Vice President of Global Product and Digital Marketing at Getty Images and as Head of Marketing and Category – NACP at Starbucks, and held several leadership roles at Microsoft.
