Digimarc Corporation announced former Salesforce enterprise sales leader Tom Benton has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer. Benton brings world-class sales leadership and hands-on experience helping large enterprises harness the power of transformational technologies. Benton brings 30 years of sales leadership experience to Digimarc.

Building on achievements at Oracle and Salesforce, Benton assumed the role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Workmarket, an ADP company, where he successfully identified the company?s product-market fit and a new business model. The result was a 53% compound annual growth rate that culminated in Workmarket?s acquisition by ADP. Most recently, Benton served as CRO of HireVue, where he built an exceptional global team and go-to-market plan, doubling annual recurring revenue in three years and expanding the enterprise client base to encompass 55% of the Fortune 100.

Benton also spearheaded the launch of HireVue's FedRAMP Authorized public sector division, which grew to serve over 20 Federal Agencies within three years. Benton?s early career included leading a highly successful partner and channel business at BEA Systems (acquired by Oracle). BEA?s channel business generated over $100 million in revenue.

After being acquired by Oracle, the program was expanded globally.
