Former Autodesk Exec Takes Charge at MarkLogic
April 7, 2011
We learned via BusinessWire that “Ken Bado Joins MarkLogic as Chief Executive Officer.” We love MarkLogic, a key player in the expanding smart content and big data arenas, and we’re happy to see them place such a proven leader at the helm.
Bado led Autodesk to success as Executive Vice President of Sales & Services, with revenue increasing on his watch from $800 million to over $2.3 billion and the company’s share price increasing by over 800 percent. Few search and content processing vendors have an executive with this track record.
The article asserted:
‘MarkLogic has the foundation, the technology, and the people to be a multi-billion dollar company. In a relatively short time, the company has experienced tremendous growth and now it is my job to multiply it ten times over,’ said Bado. ‘The technology is groundbreaking, [and] the people at this company are by far some of the smartest in Silicon Valley.
Perhaps the key to Bado’s success is his focus on the people he works with. All the technology in the world won’t make up for an unmotivated, unskilled, or mismatched team. A happy quack to MarkLogic and Ken Bado good luck- we’re sure they’ll do great things together. MarkLogic has grown rapidly and it has smart money behind it. Oracle is already on notice that the MarkLogic technology leaves the more traditional RDBMS technology in the dust.
