Consensus Names Former Salesloft and Greenhouse CRO Sean Murray as Chief Revenue Officer

Published

on

Appointment caps a record year: 2x acquisitions completed, leader placement in G2’s new Agentic GTM Platforms category, and ranked #127 on the Inc. 5000

ATLANTA, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consensus, the world’s most trusted Demo Platform and the #1-rated Demo Automation solution on G2, today announced the appointment of Sean Murray as Chief Revenue Officer. Murray takes full ownership of the company’s revenue organization following a year in which Consensus completed two acquisitions, positioning it as the only platform in the market connecting self-guided product exploration, AI-powered conversations, and live demos.

Murray joins Consensus after most recently serving as CEO of Productiv, the SaaS management platform. But his track record in GTM is what really sets him apart. As CRO at Greenhouse, he helped scale the business from $40M to more than $200M. Before that, at Salesloft, he built the company’s enterprise motion from the ground up, helping take the business from $20M to $60M. He knows how to build a disciplined, repeatable revenue engine, and how to do it hands-on. Just as importantly, the people who’ve worked with him consistently want to do it again, a kind of loyalty that’s earned over time.

“I’ve spent my career building and scaling revenue engines, including as CRO at Salesloft and Greenhouse, and most recently as CEO of Productiv,” said Murray. “What drew me to Consensus is that the shift is already happening. Buyers are running most of their evaluation before they ever talk to a seller, and Consensus is the only company that sees all of it: self-guided, conversational, and live. That is not a better demo tool. That is the intelligence layer for how enterprise software gets bought.”

The appointment of Murray caps twelve months of compounding momentum:

Two acquisitions in under six months. Consensus acquired Peel in April 2026, adding AI-powered conversational demos, and Saleo in June 2026, adding data-rich live demos that inject account-specific data into the native product. Together, they created the first end-to-end platform that covers every way a buyer sees a product.A powerful expansion engine. With AI-led, buyer-led, and seller-led demos now on one platform, Consensus can sell more value into an enterprise base that already includes 60% of the world’s largest software companies, and some of the most dominant enterprise business software and platforms in the global market, including Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, and HubSpot.G2 leadership in a new category. Consensus was named a leader in Agentic GTM Platforms, the category G2 introduced in August 2026 for platforms that use AI agents to coordinate and execute work across the go-to-market lifecycle. Consensus also holds the #1 position in Demo Automation and was named one of G2’s Top 5 Sales Software Platforms of 2026, alongside Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, and PandaDoc, out of more than 4,600 products.A breakout year for growth. 2026 has marked a step-change in Consensus’ growth trajectory, with double-digit revenue growth, accelerating customer demand, deep enterprise adoption, and expansion across the platform, creating momentum across every dimension of the business.Inc. 5000. Saleo, now Consensus Live, ranked #127 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies on three-year revenue growth, the top 3% of the list, #12 among U.S. software companies, and #3 among all Georgia companies.

The Inc. 5000 ranking is the clearest outside read on that growth. Inc. ranks companies on three-year revenue growth, verified against audited financials, the one honor on the list that cannot be won on narrative. Saleo ranked #127 out of 5,000 honorees from 2022 to 2025, placing it in the top 3% of the fastest-growing private companies in America and ahead of all but 11 U.S. software companies. The business now operates as Consensus Live, the seller-led half of the Consensus platform.

“Sean has done this at scale twice and then ran a company,” said Doug Johnson, CEO of Consensus. “We are not hiring a CRO to fix something. We are hiring one to press an advantage. We own the category G2 just created a page for, and we are the only platform that captures buyer intelligence across every demo surface. Sean knows exactly what to do with that.”

Murray will own new business, expansion, and partnerships, and will lead the go-to-market organization through the company’s next phase: turning demo engagement into Demo Intelligence: the buyer signals that tell revenue teams who is in the buying group, what they care about, and when a deal is actually moving.

“Every revenue leader is being asked to do more with a smaller team and larger buying committees,” said Murray. “The answer is not more meetings. It is letting the product do the selling and reading the signals it sends back to close the deal. Consensus is there, every step of the way.”

About Consensus

Consensus is the world’s most trusted Demo Platform, rated #1 in Demo Automation on G2, connecting agent, buyer, and seller-led demos, from interactive product tours and AI demo agents to video and live demos with real-time data injection, into one continuous experience. Every interaction creates Demo Intelligence, so revenue leaders shorten deal cycles, raise win rates, and forecast with confidence.

Limitless Labs Brings More Real Customers and Creators into What SACHEU is Making Next While much of beauty races to let AI make the calls, the partnership with SACHEU is built to do the opposite – to help SACHEU hear more from its real customers and creators, and keep every product decision human.

Published

By

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Limitless Labs, an agentic AI company, and SACHEU, a category-creating cosmetics brand, announced a partnership to bring more real customer and creator voices into how the brand decides what to make, launch, and improve.

“Social Mirror Audiences shows us where beauty creators are frustrated in their routines, the gaps and pain points nobody’s solved yet, before we ever start developing a shade,” said Sarah Cheung, Founder of SACHEU. “It’s not about chasing what’s trending. It’s about spotting the white space that no one’s filled and getting there first. The formulas, the risk, the creative call on what to actually build – that’s still all us. Limitless Labs AI just makes sure we’re pointed at the right problem before we start.”

The technology is Limitless Labs’ Social Mirror Audiences, which trained a custom audience for SACHEU on thousands of real beauty creators, each member built from that creator’s own content and stated preferences, not an invented persona, then pointed that audience at what shoppers are already saying, including more than 22,000 customer reviews across 22 SACHEU products and 184,060 social videos, so a proposed shade, product, or claim can be put in front of the whole audience at once. Limitless Labs then refines the audience against SACHEU’s own internal data, keeping the voices that correctly understand the brand; on SACHEU’s data that step lifted preference accuracy by about 30 percentage points over an unrefined audience, turning weeks of small-panel research into days and leaving every answer traceable to real customer and creator voices.

Since January, the partnership has produced a methodology that shapes real decisions:

Reading the reviews. When SACHEU revisited the how-to-use guidance on its Peel-Off Lip STAY-N, the decision was informed by 7,391 real customer reviews – the people who actually use the product.Hearing the creators. What real creators gravitate toward helps SACHEU understand which shades and ideas resonate before committing to them. Ahead of one lip shade launch, the audience ranked three shades in the same order they ultimately sold.Deciding with more of the picture. One shade study drew on 184,060 social videos to show which shades had real pull and which were splitting the audience.

“This patent-pending technology allows brands to predict what will sell before they manufacture it by learning from their customers at a scale they never could before,” said Dale Janée Schroeter, VP of Business Development at Limitless Labs. “Our AI agents give sharper answers because they are built on real, unique data sets.”

The approach is intentionally bounded. It helps SACHEU hear more and understand more; it does not replace the brand’s creative instinct, shade expertise, or the trust SACHEU has built with its customers and creators. SACHEU makes every product, launch, and brand decision – now with more real voices in the room.

A City Chooses Unity: Colorado Springs with Reclaiming Civility Launch Movement to Reverse National Incivility Crisis

Published

on

By

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 30, Mayor Yemi Mobolade, the City Council President, business leaders, and citizens across Colorado Springs will gather at the Penrose House Garden Pavilion to put their names to paper, launching a rising movement: the Inaugural Civility Pledge.

Spearheaded by Reclaiming Civility LLC, founded by Lori Leander and Lisa Brandt, the effort addresses a defining crisis of our era, the quiet exhaustion of a public weary of political contempt and the urgent need for courage to lead across differences. Mayor Mobolade and Council leadership will sign alongside the inaugural class following a keynote address by Alexandra Hudson, author of The Soul of Civility and contributor to The Wall Street Journal, CBS, PBS, TIME, POLITICO, and Newsweek.

The movement lands at a crucial tipping point. According to the Reagan Institute, more than 70 percent of Americans actively want to help restore civility to public life. The social and economic costs of division continue to mount:

Workplace Cost: SHRM estimates $2.6 billion is lost daily in American workplaces due to incivility.Relational Fractures: Research by Cornell University sociologist Karl Pillemer reveals 27 percent of Americans are currently estranged from a family member.Public Exhaustion: A survey by More in Common shows 86 percent of citizens report feeling exhausted by national political division.

“Every signature on the pledge is a choice to see people rightly, hear people well, and engage disagreement honorably, one decision that has a ripple effect, inviting our region to choose civility together,” said Lori Leander, Co-Founder of Reclaiming Civility LLC.

Demonstrating the enduring nature of this commitment, the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum will preserve the signed pledges into perpetuity and will work to share them with the public through a variety of programs and exhibits. Attendance at the September 30 ceremony is required to be named an Inaugural Signer.

Strategic outreach for the movement is led by Paul Yankey, Outsourced Chief Marketing Officer for Reclaiming Civility LLC. To learn more or join the movement, visit reclaimingcivility.com or contact hello@reclaimingcivility.com.

About Reclaiming Civility LLC

Reclaiming Civility LLC, founded by Lori Leander and Lisa Brandt, is a Colorado Springs-based organization dedicated to transforming culture by teaching corporate & organizational half-day workshops on the mindset and skills of civility, renewing hope & frameworks for constructive public discourse through community gatherings, and empowering citizens to communicate respectfully across differences.

Taiwan Flagship Showcase Draws Thousands of Visitors, Strengthens Global Manufacturing Ties at IMTS 2026

Published

on

By

CHICAGO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) today announced the successful conclusion of its Taiwan Flagship Showcase at IMTS 2026, held September 14–19 at McCormick Place. Highlighting their high-precision, flexible, and integrated manufacturing capabilities, 56 Taiwanese companies welcomed thousands of visitors. Additionally, TAITRA welcomed more than 250 attendees at the opening ceremony and Taiwan Night networking event combined, connecting Taiwanese manufacturers with international buyers, distributors, and technology partners in Chicago.

Showcase Highlights

Throughout IMTS 2026 week, the Taiwan Flagship Showcase hosted an opening ceremony attended by representatives from Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), Machine Design, Cutting Tool Engineering, Siemens, and HEIDENHAIN, as well as guided brand tours for international delegations and a series of industry-focused seminars covering aerospace applications, semiconductor applications, and smart components. Companies featured live demonstrations of Taiwan’s capabilities such as a completely waterproof CNC tool setter by T-Sense, an industrial robot by Syntec, and a tool management system by Tenpro, that drew steady crowds throughout the week.

Conversations centered on how Taiwanese manufacturers fit into international markets and broader sourcing and growth strategies. Potential buyers expressed interest in semiconductor and precision equipment components, and explored opportunities for direct U.S.-based partnerships and joint ventures. This showcase highlighted how Taiwan’s advanced manufacturing base continues to support the emerging demand of the American market in the semiconductor sector and automation industry.

In a key success story, a metal processing exhibitor successfully established direct contact with U.S. buyers, securing immediate alignment with a manufacturer seeking local service capabilities for its overseas operations and unlocking long-term growth opportunities in the semiconductor space.

By uniting key industry players under a single, collaborative presence, these initiatives serve as a vital bridge between North American demand and Taiwan’s robust manufacturing ecosystem, accelerating cross-border supply chain integration. In another success story, a Taiwanese company outside the semiconductor industry is adapting its technology through a U.S. partnership to deliver grinding solutions, expanding its reach into semiconductors.

“The successful outcome we saw from IMTS 2026 confirmed what we initially set out to prove: Taiwan’s manufacturers can meet the needs of the manufacturing industry,” said Simon Wang, President & CEO of TAITRA. “Whatever the consumer wants, Taiwan can make it happen, and this week showed the world firsthand the quality, precision and capability that Taiwanese manufacturers bring to the table.”

Looking Ahead

Taiwan Flagship Showcase’s success at IMTS 2026 goes beyond a single exhibitor, but it introduces Taiwan’s complete industrial ecosystem. From advanced machine tools to precision components and solutions, and smart automation and digital manufacturing, Taiwan connects every point of the supply chain, so buyers don’t need to look elsewhere. Under the “Team Taiwan” platform, that ecosystem continues to expand its global reach, underscoring that Taiwan’s capabilities to support the needs of the global manufacturing market.

Commissioned by the International Trade Administration (TITA) and executed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the Taiwan Flagship Showcase is a national trade promotion initiative designed to strengthen the international visibility of Taiwan’s industries.

Built around the “Team Taiwan” concept, the initiative integrates Taiwan’s industrial capabilities across key sectors, including machine tools, industrial machinery, automotive parts, fasteners, hand tools, plumbing hardware and electronic components, at major international trade shows.

Through integrated supply chain presentations, industry marketing and business matchmaking programs, the Taiwan Flagship Showcase aims to help Taiwanese companies expand their presence in strategic global markets and develop new international business opportunities.
