Quorso has appointed Michael Finnell as Senior Vice President of Marketing, marking another key leadership hire as the company continues to scale its global commercial organisation.

This follows Faraday Partners’ placement of Quorso’s SVP Sales and reflects the company’s continued investment in building a world-class go-to-market leadership team to support its next phase of growth.

“Following the success of our partnership on the SVP Sales search, Faraday Partners were once again exceptional to work with. They quickly understood the kind of marketing leader Quorso needed as we scale from founder-led storytelling into a more strategic, globally integrated growth engine. Michael brings exactly the blend of category-building expertise, enterprise marketing leadership, and operational rigour we were looking for, and we’re excited to welcome him to Quorso.”

- Phil Thorne, COO of Quorso.

The platform is already used by many of the world’s largest retailers, supporting more than 60,000 stores globally and helping customers drive measurable improvements in sales, labour efficiency, and operational performance.

Michael joins with significant experience leading enterprise marketing organisations across high-growth SaaS businesses. Throughout his career, he has specialised in aligning marketing, sales, and finance around shared accountability and measurable commercial outcomes. He has held senior marketing leadership roles at companies including Iterable, Pyramid Analytics, Reltio, ThoughtSpot, and Sharecare, building demand generation, revenue marketing, and enterprise go-to-market capabilities across complex B2B environments.

Faraday Partners brought a strong understanding of both the business and the opportunity, which stood out throughout the process. They understood the challenge of building a marketing organization that can help shape a category while scaling a rapidly growing enterprise platform. The team brought thoughtful guidance, candid conversations, and strong communication from start to finish.
They also recognized what makes Quorso unique. The company sits at an exciting intersection of AI, operations, and frontline execution, helping retailers close the gap between insight and action. I’m excited to help amplify that story globally as Quorso enters its next phase of growth.”
