Cunningham was with Splunk for nearly six years and her most recent role was area vice president of global partner marketing and experience.

While at Splunk, she played a key role in growing the company’s revenue from $650 million to more than $2.5 billion. She did so by maximizing the value of partner networks.

In addition, she has held roles at CA Technologies, SAP and Qlik.

Goals as Datto CMO

Cunningham said there are three main reasons she decided to join Datto as CMO. Those are “values, purpose and alignment to my passion for partners.”

“The company’s core values, partner-first approach to business, and commitment to the MSP community and channel align very closely with the beliefs and outlook that have guided my career,” she said.

Cunningham said Datto plans to accelerate its growth.

“And I look forward to enabling the marketing team and our valued MSP ecosystem to be major contributors to the company’s continued success,” she said.

Tim Weller is Datto‘s CEO.
