SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2014) - Mindjet, the world's leading enterprise SaaS platform for Innovation Management, today announced two new executive hires. Steve Anderson joins the company as Chief Financial Officer and Todd Clyde joins as Executive Vice President Global Field Operations.
The new hires come on the heels of pro forma year-over-year subscription revenue growth of 38%. In Q4 2013 alone, Mindjet signed 14 new enterprise customers to its SpigitEngage platform, including Pfizer, Cigna, ADGAS, and Amway, among others.
As EVP Global Field Operations, Mr. Clyde is responsible for the strategy and operations of customer-facing functions including sales, services, and support.

Mr. Clyde also worked at Accenture for 12 years as part of the industrial products and high tech practices.
"With 80% of the Fortune 500 using its visual thinking tools, I was familiar with Mindjet as the leader in innovation software for individuals and teams. I was also aware that analysts had identified SpigitEngage as the leader in the emerging software category of Enterprise Innovation Management," said Clyde. "I believe that the combination of these two companies has created one of the fastest growing innovation companies in the world. I also believe we are only seeing the start of what will soon become a mandate for organizations to better source and evaluate ideas and also to improve visibility and management of the entire innovation process."
As CFO, Mr. Anderson brings more than 25 years of financial experience to Mindjet, with venture-backed and publicly traded technology companies. He has a successful record of helping grow and manage companies through rapid domestic and international expansion, strategic fundraising, and mergers and acquisitions.

"I'm very excited to be joining Mindjet and to work closely with Scott and his team," says Anderson.
