HubSpot’s competitive Q2 run earned the leading CRM and Marketing automation platform a decent $310.8 million in total revenue, growing substantially from last year’s Q2. But that’s not the only martech news from the martech company today. Co-founder and CEO, Brian Halligan has stepped down from his role and appointed Chief Customer Officer Yamini Rangan as his successor.
Brian will step into the role of Executive Chairman of HubSpot’s Board of Directors as of September 7, 2021.
At the time of this announcement, new CEO Yamini Rangan said, “We finished out the first half of the year with yet another quarter of strong performance across the business. With the launch of CMS Hub Starter and recent improvements to CMS Hub Professional and Enterprise, we’re well-positioned to continue to support our customers through the ongoing trend of digital transformation as more companies have to adapt to doing business online.”

Yamini Rangan will succeed Halligan and will step into the CEO role effective September 7, 2021. Rangan will also join HubSpot’s Board of Directors at that time. Halligan will work closely with Rangan to ensure a smooth transition.
“As Dharmesh and I have thought about what the next 15 years and beyond look like for HubSpot, it’s become clear to us that we have an opportunity to make some important changes now that will set us up for long term success,” said Brian Halligan, co-founder and CEO of HubSpot. “I’ve also been thinking a lot about how I can have the most impact on HubSpot moving forward, and moving to the Executive Chairman role feels like a natural fit. That transition wouldn’t be possible if I weren’t incredibly confident in Yamini’s ability to lead HubSpot.”
“Since the day she arrived, Yamini has made HubSpot better,” continued Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and CTO of HubSpot. “From reducing friction for our customers, to leading the company with clarity and empathy, Yamini has proven she is ready to take on the role of CEO to help both HubSpot and our customers grow better. I know I speak for both Brian and I when I say that we’re thrilled to have her take on this role and can’t wait to work together to lead the company.”
“I’m deeply humbled, grateful and excited to take on this new opportunity in partnership with Brian, Dharmesh, and the entire HubSpot team,” said Rangan. “It was Brian and Dharmesh’s visionary leadership as founders that got us here today, and that leadership will continue to be invaluable as HubSpot grows. I’m excited to continue working together to build innovative products, create a remarkable culture for our employees, and ultimately make HubSpot the #1 CRM platform for scaling companies.”
