Ganesan is the former CEO of ItemMaster, a product content management company and PathFactory customer that was acquired by Gladson (now Syndigo) in January 2019.

Ganesan has in-depth experience in building and scaling companies in the digital, mobile, content, and data analytics industries. He is the recipient of the Ernst & Young 2017 Entrepreneur-of-the-Year award, Future 50 award in 2014 and 2013, and was recognized as a Washington Tech Titan in 2013.

“After getting to know the founders of PathFactory over the past few years and becoming a customer during my time at ItemMaster, I’ve seen the transformative power of enabling B2B buyers by removing friction from how they find and consume content,” said Ganesan. “PathFactory is uniquely positioned to change the way B2B companies deliver content to their buyers across every channel, and use its new class of first-party data to make decisions about where to invest and how to optimize marketing.”
