Tom Perchinsky Appointed as Agility's First Chief Sales Officer

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 1, 2021 / Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:INOD) announced today that Tom Perchinsky has been appointed as Chief Sales Officer of its subsidiary, Agility PR Solutions. Perchinsky has decades of experience building out high-performing SaaS sales teams. The hire was the result of an extensive nationwide search conducted in Q4 2020. Perchinsky is tasked with expanding Agility's sales force from 12 to 53 by the end of 2021 in order to aggressively grow market share.

"We're flooring the gas pedal," said Martin Lyster, CEO of Agility PR Solutions. "We believe the time is right to accelerate as Agility now ranks among the best-in-class platforms in the market enjoying industry-leading client retention rates and accelerating sales velocity."

Perchinsky left his role as Executive Vice President of Sales at Alphonso Inc. to join Agility. Prior to Alphonso, Perchinsky spent over five years at iQMedia, which provides real-time TV analytics, and five years at Vocus, an Agility competitor that became Cision in 2014. Cision's annual revenue is estimated to have exceeded $700 million in 2019. During his time at these companies, Perchinsky was a major player in their growth, building their sales teams and driving aggressive increases in annual recurring revenue.

"I'm excited about the foundation that Agility has laid with its platform and the momentum that's been building," Perchinsky said. "Joining the team is a great opportunity for me, and I look forward to helping propel the business to the next level."
