Kevin Knieriem Appointed CRO at Asana (Copy)

Asana has appointed Kevin Knieriem as Chief Revenue Officer. In this role, he will lead the company’s global revenue organization, partnering closely with customers and the executive leadership team to drive Asana’s next phase of growth. The appointment comes as Asana continues expanding its enterprise go-to-market capabilities and sharpening execution across its revenue engine.

Knieriem brings extensive experience scaling enterprise SaaS businesses through periods of rapid growth. Most recently, he served as President at Clari, where he helped build and scale a high-growth enterprise go-to-market organization spanning sales, customer success, partnerships, and marketing. Earlier in his career, he held senior go-to-market leadership roles at Oracle’s North American Cloud organization and served as Chief Revenue Officer at DataScience.com, which was later acquired by Oracle.

Why this matters: Asana is at a stage where revenue leadership is central to translating product strength into durable enterprise growth. Bringing in a go-to-market executive with experience across Clari, Oracle, and DataScience.com suggests the company is prioritizing scale, commercial discipline, and stronger alignment between product-led and sales-led growth as competition in work management software intensifies.
