In this role, Wilson will continue to report to Greg Stock, Zenoss chairman and CEO.
"The role of the CCO is to ensure that the collective voice of the customer is incorporated into the strategy of the company.Brian has excelled in this endeavor over the past five years," Stock said. "He exemplifies our core value of 'Customers for Life,' and I am very proud of this significant milestone in his career."
Wilson joined the company in 2011 as vice president of services and support and was promoted to senior vice president of customer success in 2014. In his new role as CCO, Wilson will be responsible for ensuring customers realize the full potential of the Zenoss platform, driving subscription renewals and customer expansions. He will also be the top customer advocate internally, influencing product direction and defining the customer experience.
