Munich, 22nd October 2024: Personio, Europe’s leading HR software company for small and mid-sized organizations, welcomes Philip Lacor as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Responsible for driving Personio’s continued growth, Philip will lead the newly formed Revenue and Success organization and join the company's Executive team.

Hanno Renner, co-founder and CEO of Personio: "We're hugely proud of the work that we do with all our customers, but we are still only scratching the surface of the wider market opportunity. Our long term goal is to build a global company with its roots in Europe, and Philip will be a great fit to help us achieve this. Through all our conversations, Philip’s dedication to customers and deep experience at global companies such as Dropbox and Vodafone as well as fast growing organizations like Envoy and Airbase really stood out. He will be a true asset on our growth journey, leading our business to new heights.” 

Philip Lacor, incoming Chief Revenue Officer, Personio: “Personio has had a fantastic trajectory so far and I look forward to contributing to an exciting next chapter. I found the process of learning about the company and meeting the people to be energizing, there is so much excitement here. I was also impressed by the deep product roadmap geared specifically towards the needs of European customers, the strength of the go to market teams and the great company culture. I truly believe that Personio will be a defining European success story.”

Philip will report to Hanno Renner (co-founder & CEO) and joins Jonas Rieke (co-founder & COO), Maria Angelidou-Smith (CPTO), Birgit Haderer (CFO), Naman Khan (CMO), and Lenke Taylor (CPO) on Personio’s Executive Team. Together, they are focused on leading 1,800 Personios to deliver on Personio’s mission to help organizations unlock the power of their people.

Hanno Renner added: “While we’re excited to welcome Philip, we’re also thankful for everything our outgoing CRO, Geraldine MacCarthy, has accomplished and contributed to at Personio. Geraldine joined us four years ago when our Dublin office was little more than a desk in a hotel conference room and over her tenure has since grown our business to serving over 14,000 customers today. I’ve learned so much from Geraldine, and we all wish her the very best for her next chapter.”
