Gearset, the leader in Salesforce DevOps solutions, announced the appointment of Michael Lees as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Lees, a sales leader with a strong track record in scaling the sales organizations of technology companies, will spearhead Gearset’s sales, business development, and strategic partnerships.
With over two decades of experience, Lees has a history of leading sales and
go-to-market strategies for high-growth technology companies. Prior to joining
Gearset, Lees served as Chief Revenue Officer at LeaseAccelerator, where he played a
pivotal role in building the company’s customer success team, enterprise sales
function and supporting channel strategy, the success of which were critical to
LeaseAccelerator’s successful sale to insightsoftware earlier this year. His extensive
background in product-led growth, combined with his success in executing sales-led
motions for enterprise customers, positions him as a strategic asset for Gearset at this
critical time in the company’s growth journey.
As CRO, Lees will take Gearset’s sales and customer success teams to the next level
by complementing the company’s inbound sales strategy with even more robust
outbound efforts to reach new enterprise clients.

In addition, Lees will lead Gearset’s strategic partnership programs, enabling partners
to integrate Gearset’s powerful Salesforce DevOps solution into their own service
offerings, thereby delivering greater value to their enterprise clients. This partnership
program represents a key growth area for Gearset, as Salesforce consultants and
service providers can use Gearset to optimize outcomes for their customers and, in
turn, refer clients to Gearset.
“Michael’s impressive background at developing and leading world-class sales
organizations makes him the ideal person to take Gearset’s sales team to the next
level,” said Kevin Boyle, CEO and co-founder of Gearset. “We are thrilled to have him
onboard to help scale our business development efforts and deepen our strategic
partnerships, ensuring that Gearset remains the top choice for Salesforce DevOps
solutions in the enterprise space.”
Lees is equally excited to join Gearset during this pivotal phase of expansion. “Gearset
has built the most complete Salesforce DevOps solution on the market, and I’m excited
to be part of the company’s next chapter of growth,” said Lees. “I look forward to
working with the sales team to grow our customer base and develop new partnerships
that will bring Gearset’s industry-leading technology to even more organizations.”
As Gearset continues to expand globally and into key industry verticals, Lees’ hiring
signals the company’s commitment to maintaining its leadership position in Salesforce
DevOps and discovering new growth opportunities through enterprise sales and
strategic partnerships.
