VMob appoints Michael Carden as Non-Executive Director
The VMob board is pleased to announce the appointment of seasoned SaaS entrepreneur Michael Carden as a non-executive
director.
Carden’s addition to the board will be a strong boost to VMob’s 2014 growth plans as he offers a tremendous wealth of
knowledge and experience in growing tech businesses. He is well known both in the New Zealand and Silicon Valley Tech
industry for his leading edge understanding of successful SaaS business models and proven B2B technology sales and
marketing techniques.
Although he originally trained in Artificial Intelligence, Carden spent much of his early career in consumer marketing
for global corporations. Then in 2006 he founded Sonar6, a revolutionary Human Resources SaaS business, which achieved
world-wide success before being acquired by Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD) in 2012. Post-merger, Carden went on to
serve as Vice President of Small Business Operations for Cornerstone.
Not only does he have valuable experience in the industry, he also sits on the board of a number of New Zealand’s most
exciting tech companies and is a member of the NZTE Beachheads Advisor Board.
