EdTech unicorn Multiverse has appointed Donn D’Arcy as its new chief revenue officer (CRO).
London-based D’Arcy joins from MongoDB, where, as head of EMEA, he helped scale the business to $700m in ARR, representing over 30% of MongoDB’s global revenue.
His appointment as CRO is set to help scale Multiverse’s goal to build the AI adoption layer for the enterprise through transforming workforce skills.
The London-headquartered firm was founded by CEO Euan Blair, the son of former Prime Minister Tony, and has made a string of leadership appointments in recent months.
These include the hirings of MongoDB’s Jillian Gillespie as CFO and Baroness Martha Lane Fox to the board.
Several weeks later, it strengthened its senior team with the onboarding of Helen Greul as engineering vice president and Asha Haji as operations vice president.
The company’s ambition is to become a generational British tech success story by solving a critical problem – while companies are investing heavily in AI tools, they lack the workforce skills to unlock their true value.
It says that this hire, and those that preceded it, are key to making this mission possible.
Prior to his success at MongoDB, D’Arcy spent over twelve years at BMC Software, where he helped in leading BMC UK to $500m in revenue, making it the top-performing region worldwide.
He will now be tasked with using his expertise as Multiverse builds upon its partnerships with leading global companies, which include over a quarter of the FTSE 100, as well as 100 NHS trusts and more than 55 local councils.
“Truly seizing the AI opportunity requires companies to build a bridge between tech and talent – both within Multiverse and for our customers,” said Blair.
“Bringing on a world-class leader like Donn, with his incredible track record at MongoDB, is a critical step in our goal to equip every business with the workforce of tomorrow.”
D’Arcy added: “Enterprise AI adoption won’t happen without fixing the skills gap. Multiverse is the critical partner for any company serious about making AI a reality, and its focus on developing people as the most crucial component of the tech stack is what really drew me to the organisation.
“The talent density, and the pathway to hyper growth, means the next chapter here is tremendously exciting.”
