SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2015) - Trifacta, the leading data wrangling solution for exploratory analytics, today announced Joe Scheuermann has joined as vice president of marketing. Scheuermann is an enterprise software veteran with more than 19 years of experience leading marketing strategy development and execution at innovative startups and market-leading companies, including Business Objects, Mercury Interactive, Hewlett-Packard and Teradata.

"Joe has built world-class marketing and demand generation organizations for companies at all stages of growth, from early-stage startups and mid-market businesses, to hyper-growth IPO-bound organizations and global enterprises. This experience, combined with his deep domain expertise, makes him the perfect addition to Trifacta's executive team," said Adam Wilson, CEO of Trifacta. "Joe is an exceptionally accomplished marketing executive who will expand our leadership in self-service data preparation. We are excited to welcome him to the team."

Scheuermann will lead the marketing organization at Trifacta, increasing demand generation and product marketing efforts to support the organization's rapid growth and expanding direct sales and partner channels. At Teradata, Scheuermann was responsible for redesigning the company's marketing strategy, modernizing go-to-market and building a demand generation engine to support the company's expansion into the big data and analytics market. Through these efforts, marketing sourced more than 60 percent of new logos and increased pipeline velocity nearly three times.

Prior to Teradata, Scheuermann implemented a modern, high-velocity marketing strategy at Mercury Interactive that focused on digital marketing and trial programs, resulting in more than 25,000 software downloads per month, fueling the company's rapid revenue growth and delivering the two strongest quarters in company history just prior to being acquired by Hewlett-Packard. Following the acquisition, Scheuermann created the Global Demand Center organization at Hewlett-Packard from the ground up, developing the strategy and execution model for demand generation for the $30 billion HP Enterprise Business Group.
