“As Sitecore’s growth accelerates rapidly, and we transition to a SaaS business, we needed a CFO with a deep track record scaling high-growth SaaS companies,” said Tzikakis. “John’s experience in both of these areas at other global companies is exactly what we were looking for to strengthen and advance Sitecore’s position as a market-leading digital experience company.”
