The former Stripe employee said she will be focusing on building a world-class team at HubSpot, with analyst jobs to open soon.
Abigail Kenny, Stripe’s previous global head of strategy and analytics, has been announced as the new director of sales strategy and operations at HubSpot. Previously she worked for Meta, where she was the organisation’s director of business planning and operations, having also worked as a senior operations programme manager at tech giant Microsoft.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, HubSpot was founded by Dharmesh Shah and Brian Halligan in 2006. The organisation’s European office is located in Dublin. HubSpot is a customer platform that enables businesses to utilise a range of software, integrations and resources, to connect marketing, sales and customer services.
In a LinkedIn post announcing her new venture, Kenny noted she would be focused on building up a strong team at HubSpot, with analyst jobs to be made available in the near future.
“I’m excited to announce I’ve joined HubSpot as director, sales strategy and operations. Throughout the interview process and continued conversations with Brett Hogan, Mark Barry and Eimear Marrinan it became clear that this was an opportunity I simply could not refuse.
“HubSpot’s incredible growth trajectory, inspiring mission and the caliber of the team are truly exciting. I’m so excited to dive in, learn from the best and contribute to HubSpot’s continued success. Here’s to new beginnings.”
Kenny joined Stripe in 2021, 11 years after it was founded and during her time there she said she led a world-class team, contributing tens of millions to the bottom line and hundreds of millions to the top line.
