Emery Sinclair recently rejoined Revelwood as our new vice president of client success. Previously, he spent eight years serving as Revelwood’s director of solutions and strategy. We sat down with Emery to learn his vision for this new role and why he returned to Revelwood.

Q: Welcome back! Tell us about your new role.

Emery: Thanks. I’m responsible for overseeing and expanding our Client Success team. Our goals are to optimize the client experience by expanding our service offerings and driving product adoption. We want to make sure our clients get the full benefits they expect from their investments in technology for the Office of Finance. 

Currently our clients receive complimentary training, free system performance tune-ups, access to open Q&A sessions and exclusive content. We plan on expanding our offerings. At Revelwood we say – and we mean it – that we have our clients’ backs. Our Client Success team will put even more processes and thought around how we do that.

Q: What have you been doing in between your time with us?

Emery: I’ve focused on client success. I’ve had the opportunity to work with startups that were headquartered outside of the U.S. This has given me an interesting perspective on how to work with organizations of all sizes to partner for success. Success not just in selling software, but in actually working toward long-term relationships with our clients. As one Revelwoodian recently said, “We don’t just deliver [an implementation] and run away. In fact, we do the opposite of that. 

Q: Why did you decide to return to Revelwood?

Emery: Revelwood has nearly quadrupled in size since I left in 2014. There’s a significant amount of growth in the financial planning software market and related technologies for the Office of Finance. Revelwood has the right people and the right experience to capitalize on this fast-growing market.

Revelwood also has a client base of raving fans. That’s a great starting point for my goals for the Client Success team. We’re not just a service provider, we are a vested advocate that helps them achieve their goals for transforming the Office of Finance. 

And, they are great people!

Dino Daddona was recently named Revelwood’s vice president of sales, Americas. We sat down with him to learn more about his thoughts on Revelwood.

Q: Why did you choose to join Revelwood?

Dino: The majority of my career has been in roles selling to the Office of Finance. So it was functionally a good fit. More importantly, though, Revelwood is in a unique position in the market. The company is on a rapid growth trajectory and has a legacy of success helping clients transform financial performance and operations. That makes Revelwood a rare find.

Many Revelwoodians have been with the company for many years. That is a sign of a great company. It is a testament to the quality of the leadership, the commitment to individuals’ success and its commitment to the company’s Core Values. 

Q: What do you see as Revelwood’s opportunity in the market?

 Dino: There is a massive opportunity to help companies transform their Office of Finance. According to Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software, “Organizations are increasingly seeking efficient, agile planning and management to respond to market changes.” Frankly, nearly every organization now faces “market changes” on a regular basis. This means that companies – and they are many of them – that still use spreadsheets for budgeting and planning need to modernize their finance operations now. 

Workday Adaptive Planning is one of the best financial planning solutions on the market. Revelwood is the leading Workday Adaptive Planning partner in the Americas. Additionally, Revelwood has decades of experience (and awards to prove it!) partnering with IBM. We’ve also received awards from our partner BlackLine.

We are perfectly positioned for exponential growth in the market.

Q: What will you be doing in this new role?

Dino: I’m Revelwood’s first vice president of sales, Americas. I oversee our Sales and Pre-sales teams. These teams are a mix of Revelwood veterans and new team members, some of whom are just entering the workplace. Having a diverse team means that we can leverage both experience and new ideas. 

My role also includes strengthening relationships with our partners. Our partnerships are not just traditional technology “Barney hugs.” We invest in training and certifications from our partners. We’re not generalists – we are experts in technology for the Office of Finance. It’s important that our partners understand how committed we are to mutual success.Learn more about Dino.
