Calabrio appoints Joshua Geller as new CLO
MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES — Workforce performance suite provider Calabrio has appointed Joshua Geller as its new Chief Legal Officer (CLO).
In his new role, he will oversee all legal affairs, including corporate governance, intellectual property management, and regulatory compliance. He will report directly to Joel Martins, Calabrio’s Chief Technology Officer and Interim CEO.
“Josh’s proven experience in efficiently scaling legal teams at private-equity backed SaaS companies will undoubtedly help drive a best-in-class legal function at Calabrio,” said Martins.
“In addition, his career-long practice in M&A will be invaluable in our next stage of growth.”
Extensive M&A and legal experience
Prior to joining Calabrio, Geller was the CLO of software company Adenza, where he was involved in several transactions, including the sale of AxiomSL to Thoma Bravo, the merger and integration of AxiomSL and Calypso Technology into Adenza, and the sale of Adenza to Nasdaq.
Before shifting to the Software-as-a-Service industry, Geller was a partner in the Corporate Department of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP where he was a member of the Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Client, and Investment Management practice groups.
“I am honored and excited to be Calabrio’s first Chief Legal Officer and look forward to driving operational excellence during this time of growth,” said Geller.
“I am passionate about leading and scaling legal teams by optimizing our people, processes and technology.”
Calabrio’s Wysdom acquisition
Geller’s appointment comes after Calabrio’s acquisition of bot management software and solutions provider Wysdom in January to enhance the former’s human and virtual agents.
With Wysdom under its wing, Calabrio will now be able to streamline its chat and voice bot interactions in real time.
Both platforms utilize the single-pane approach, an information technology tool that allows users to combine data from several different sources or interfaces. This accelerates incident response, improves visibility and control, and simplifies troubleshooting, among other benefits.
It will allow Calabrio’s customers to monitor and improve the performance of resource allocation of its customer service agents, both human and virtual.
