Henderson joins FiscalNote from cloud-based community platform leader Higher Logic, where he spent four years as Chief Sales Officer and managed global sales and accounts across North America, EMEA, and Australia, doubled annual recurring revenue, improved EBITDA margins by a factor of 4x, built new market verticals, and incorporated multiple acquisitions into the go-to-market process. Previously, Henderson spent a total of 15 years at the Corporate Executive Board (formerly NYSE-listed, now owned by Gartner, NYSE: IT), a leading global best-practice insight and SaaS business generating more than $900 million in annual recurring revenue.

“Richard is a perfect fit for FiscalNote as we continue our next phase of global growth, scale, and customer expansion, and his appointment serves as an accelerant to our sales trajectory and momentum as an enduring public company and essential partner to the world’s decision-makers,” said Resnik. “Richard’s proven leadership and management skills and his exemplary track record of revenue growth and sales excellence at leading innovative SaaS brands will strongly reinforce FiscalNote’s path to becoming profitable in the fourth quarter of 2023, while enhancing our customer-first mission, the effectiveness and scale of our global commercial sales teams, and our results-oriented culture of high-performance.”
