Previously, Eiler was vice president of global marketing at SaaS-company Postini, where she created a closed-loop lead-to-sale process that resulted in rapid revenue growth. Before that Eiler spent more than 10 years at business intelligence leader Business Objects, as vice president of corporate marketing, driving global awareness. During that time the company grew from 65M to more than 1B in revenue.
“Tracy is an accomplished marketing executive with impressive credentials. She brings fantastic energy and focus to Cloud9,” said Jim Burleigh, chief executive officer of Cloud9. “Tracy is joining Cloud9 at a pivotal time as we broaden our offerings for sales forecasting and work with our customers to optimize their sales organizations. Tracy’s expertise and proven track record in scaling companies for growth and success will help accelerate Cloud9’s position in the market.”

I’m so impressed. I really look forward to ramping our demand generation engine and helping to fuel the company’s growth.”
Eiler will speak at the upcoming Dreamforce conference, August 31, 2011, in a session called “Show & Tell: Marketing Dashboards for Success”.
