Share

Exciting transformations are underway at Relish this month! We’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our team with the arrival of our newest team member, Gina Bates.

Gina is taking on the role of CRO and brings over 20 years of tech sales and leadership experience. She has a proven track record of building successful, high-performing teams, and is passionate about cultivating a strong team culture. We look forward to working with her and getting to know her better. What better way than with some Q&A!

Welcome aboard, Gina! We’re absolutely delighted to welcome you to Relish. Your skills are perfect to grow our organization and build formidable partnerships. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, here we go!

Q: When did you first learn about Relish, and what was your initial opinion?

A. Since its inception, I’ve been closely following Relish’s journey. The team at Relish has crafted innovative solutions that bridge the product gap for enterprises investing in robust systems. Their impressive growth and accolades over recent years speak volumes. Strategic alliances with industry giants like SAP, Coupa, Workday, and Dun & Bradstreet further underscore their compelling value proposition.

Q. What are you most looking forward to as you join the Relish team?

A. The remarkable upward journey of Relish fuels my enthusiasm. The achievements of the team over the past four years are nothing short of remarkable. In the current economic landscape, businesses are prioritizing essential AI solutions, and Relish is at the forefront of this innovation.

Q. What is the biggest impact you look forward to making at Relish?

A. Building on Relish’s accomplishments in launching robust solutions and creating powerful partnerships, I’m thrilled to leverage my expertise to propel Relish to new heights, expand our customer base, and ensure our clients thrive.

Q. Mountains or beach?

A. Both! Living in Atlanta, I relish (like how I worked that in there) the perfect balance of nature’s wonders—just an hour’s drive to the mountains and five hours to the beaches. But as all my friends will tell you, I am a lake girl at heart!

Q. What is your favorite condiment?

A. Whether it’s a fiery hot sauce or a tangy pickle, I’m all about adding zest to life—and I’m thrilled to bring that same spice to Relish!

Thank you, Gina! Here we go!
