“John is a seasoned executive who has proven to be incredibly talented at building top-notch sales teams and growing successful long-term customer relationships,” said Jeff Bizzack, president of ServiceSource. “With his leadership, Oracle successfully grew its commercial business, acquiring and integrating best-in-class business application technology from market-leaders like Siebel, Hyperion and Agile. As business software and services continue to penetrate every industry and vertical, ServiceSource will greatly benefit from the addition of John-s expertise and operational experience.”
“As the market leader in service revenue management, ServiceSource has cracked the code in solving a very difficult problem that a broad range of technology-based companies face. My background at Oracle has taught me that strengthening customer relationships, reducing churn and optimizing revenue from maintenance, support and subscription contracts are key to tapping this $160 billion industry,” said Boucher. “I-m thrilled to join ServiceSource-s outstanding sales team at this early stage in the company-s growth to help drive customer acquisition and expansion in existing and new markets across the globe.”
During his tenure with Oracle, Boucher was responsible for selling to and servicing nearly 7,500 commercial customers and leading over 1,000 dedicated sales and pre-sales professionals to focus on building long-term relationships with customers. John was also integral to the acquisition and integration of a variety of other business applications including Hyperion, G*Log, Demantra, Agile and Logical Applications.
Previously, Boucher was Group Vice President of Oracle-s North America Commercial Applications sales organization for the Eastern half of North America.
