Everwise, a platform that helps professionals boost their careers by connecting them with expert mentors appoints Mercedes Ellison as Chief Executive Officer.
About Mercedes
Mercedes was previously Senior Vice President at HEAT Software for almost 2 years until parting ways when the company was acquired by Clearlake Capital and merged into LANDESK. The CEO opportunity at Everwise is very intriguing to her, as it marries her GTM expertise, domain in HCM, and personal passion around mentoring/career development and advancing women in leadership.
In her recent interview to Everwise, Ellison said: “I am truly honored to lead Everwise and build on its success. Helping others learn has been my lifelong work, so I was instantly drawn in by the life-changing impact Everwise has on individual careers. After digging into the business, I was thrilled to see that Everwise is helping its customers deliver such value across the enterprise, through shared learning experiences that drive results. Not every company has the opportunity to change the professional lives of millions, but we do. I can’t imagine a better match for me”. Needless to say, it was a perfect match.
Everwise is backed by Sequoia and Canvas Ventures and it has over 250 customers include Visa, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, PayPal, Genentech, Twitter, Pinterest, and Lyft.
