As one of Ottawa’s brightest tech stars sets its sights on global scale, it’s turning to an established sales and marketing executive to lead its go-to-market strategy.
Assent Compliance, which develops software to help enterprise customers track regulatory requirements across their supply chains, announced earlier this week it has hired Dave Curley as its new chief revenue officer.
Curley comes to Assent after more than 25 years in Ottawa’s tech sector. He worked as vice-president of marketing with Mitel in the mid-90s, and went on to take similar roles with QNX Software Systems (before it was acquired by BlackBerry) and Mxi Technologies. Most recently, Curley served as vice-president of marketing and sales with Pleora Technologies.
