Parness and Serino are the latest additions to a seasoned executive leadership team brought on in 2021. Code Climate has experienced significant expansion over the past year, with revenue up more than 100 percent and headcount nearly doubling.
Parness joins Code Climate from Foursquare, where he served as CFO, leading the finance and operations teams for nearly a decade. Prior to Foursquare, he was the CFO of several companies in the technology, healthcare, and music industries. Over his 30-year career, Parness has helped scale companies to over $500 million in revenue and orchestrate a multi-billion dollar exit. He has also served as an advisor for several tech startups.
Serino brings a wealth of leadership experience to the Code Climate team, most recently from Harbr Data, an enterprise data exchange platform, where he was Global Head of Sales. Serino has extensive experience driving sales growth in multiple verticals in the Fortune 500, having held strategic sales roles at EMC and Oracle, and helping lead a successful IPO for Pivotal Software.
“As we continue to scale rapidly for a phenomenal period of growth, I’m super excited to welcome Rory and Bill as the latest members of our leadership team,” says Bryan Helmkamp, Code Climate co-founder and CEO. “The enterprise-grade level of experience that they each bring to Code Climate will help propel us to the next level and strengthen our position as the leading Engineering Intelligence company.”
