Under Brown’s leadership, Magnolia will advance its goal to help marketers deliver a superior customer experience at speed.

According to Brown, “The bottom-line is that today’s customer experience practitioners have had enough of their legacy content management systems. They’re tired of the rising costs, the complex integration challenges, and the painfully slow go-live times required for even the most basic web project. They’re searching for a better way.”

“This provides a fantastic opportunity for Magnolia and our strong partner network,” adds Brown. “We’re offering a unique blend of power, speed, and connectivity that surpasses other content management systems on the market in on-prem, cloud, and headless configurations. We strive to meet the needs of digital-savvy customer experience practitioners with ambition but who don’t possess the vast resources and budget required to support many legacy platforms.”

“Tim is the right person to build on this momentum,” explains Mangold. “He has a proven track record of scaling marketing technology companies, like Magnolia, into category leaders. I am looking forward to working with him in his new role as CEO.”

As CEO, Brown will be focused on driving global growth for the digital experience solution provider, which includes Magnolia 6, the latest version of the company’s flagship product. Purpose-built to help marketers deliver a better customer experience faster, the product’s new features include a re-designed user interface, intelligent contextual search, automated tagging, and faster content modeling functionalities.
