Boomi hires Steve Lucas as CEO

Boomi has appointed Steve Lucas as its CEO who brings with him 27 years of experience in enterprise software.

Lucas joins Boomi from iCIMS and succeeds David Meredith who has stepped down from the chief executive role to pursue other interests.

Prior to spending three years growing iCIMS, Lucas held executive roles at Adobe, Marketo, SAP, and Salesforce. As CEO of Marketo, Lucas implemented significant product expansion and platform growth, leading to Adobe’s $4.75 billion acquisition of the company.

Lucas said, “I’ve spent more than two decades building and growing software companies, and the need for integration across the enterprise has never been more clear or critical.

“Boomi is one of few independent, cloud-native platforms of scale that is enabling greater automation and efficiency across the organisation, helping teams understand, share, and optimise data in better and faster ways. I am excited to partner with the team to grow and expand our platform for the benefit of our customers.”

In July, the company set an industry record for the largest customer base among integration platform vendors – and recently tripled the growth rate of new bookings year over year.

The company also welcomed three world-class executives to its board: Mark Fields, former CEO of Ford Motor Company, Larry Quinlan, former CIO of Deloitte, and Janine Seebeck, the CEO of BeyondTrust.

Meredith, former CEO at Boomi said, “I am deeply proud of what the Boomi team has accomplished, from its record customer growth to numerous industry recognitions, which are a testament to the strength of the Boomi product and people.”

In June, the company also hired Madeline Ling has been as CFO, Marcy Campbell as CRO, and Fran Wilson as CMO.
