Botify, the leading enterprise software company for performance-driven organic search, is closing out 2022 by appointing a series of global executive hires and company advisors. The decision comes in response to continued industry and company growth, illustrating the company’s commitment to driving innovation, delivering excellence across all areas of the business and supporting customers with every opportunity to leverage organic search as a high-impact performance marketing channel.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Brian Marin, Phil Young, Vincent Gonnot, A.J. Ghergich, and Steve Sadove to Botify as we expand how we help global brands improve how they are found in organic search,” said Botify CEO, Adrien Menard. “Each of these leaders will be extremely instrumental in supporting our continued growth and new announcements in the coming months. As we embrace widespread recognition of the impact organic search has on company performance, and define Botify’s next chapter to meet growing demand, I’m confident that together, we will do great things.”

In this newly created role, Marin will launch a consulting service practice and expand professional services to meet continued customer demand. A seasoned digital marketer, Marin brings decades of SaaS experience and a proven track record building and leading services functions for companies in hyper-growth mode.
Joining Marin’s growing team, Botify welcomed A.J. Ghergich as Vice President of Consulting Services to lead the rollout of Botify’s new consulting service offering. Ghergich brings more than 15 years of organic search and digital marketing experience consulting for Fortune 500 global brands.

Young will be working closely with the marketing and product teams to drive growth and ensure the highest success level for his teams.

Focusing on European expansion, Vincent Gonnot also joined Botify as Vice President of Sales Central/South EMEA in December. Similar to Young, Gonnot will be working alongside the marketing and product teams to ensure optimal regional growth for the company. Gonnot has more than 20 years of international sales and management experience across large companies and startups.
