He has over 20 years of experience in the technology sector where he has built, sold, and delivered on integrated partnerships in direct sales, strategic partnerships, business development, and product management roles for companies including AltaVista, Performics, ExactTarget/Salesforce, Octiv, Wunderkind, and others.

Kalen Kimm joins Jebbit as a Partnerships Director on the Strategic Partners Team, where he will lead the development and expansion of strategic partnership relationships and expand business across Jebbit’s cloud, technical and agency partners. Kimm previously led partner expansion for UserTesting (which IPO'd at the end of 2021) and has garnered recognition for building out world-class partner ecosystems from the ground up in a variety of leadership roles.

“Every marketing technology partner is looking for ways to help brands capture more first-party data and Jebbit answers that call”

said Ted Hirschey, Global Head of Strategic Partnerships. “I’m excited to be leading our partnership efforts and working with key partners such as Salesforce, SAP, Qualtrics, and Klaviyo.
