WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FiscalNote, the Washington DC-based company that dramatically improves the way organizations engage with government, today announced longtime LexisNexis executive Martin Kilmer as Chief Operating Officer. Kilmer brings expertise in global business management, product development and operations, having spent his career leading innovative legal information and analysis firms. He will also lead FiscalNote’s product development.
The move comes after a year spent building out the fast-moving startup’s executive team that included the company’s strongest quarter to date. In February, the company added longtime Obama Administration official Christopher Lu as a senior strategy advisor.
“Marty’s deep industry experience and substantial operational and product background will accelerate FiscalNote’s mission of becoming a positive disruptor in this space,” said Tim Hwang, FiscalNote CEO. “We are in a time of unprecedented global uncertainty. Meeting that challenge requires modern solutions at a global scale.”
Kilmer was most recently Vice President of Global Commercial Operations for LexisNexis, where he led global engineering teams in creating SaaS-based B2B platforms and coordinated global mergers & acquisitions. While VP of Product Platforms, he led the strategic business development for LexisNexis’ modern flagship research product and underlying infrastructure. He also held business-management, editorial and product development roles for companies in the portfolio, including Mathew Bender and Shepard’s. Kilmer began his career as an attorney.
“FiscalNote understands the power and potential of technology and data to unlock insights and magnify clients’ impact on governments, organizations and society,” said Kilmer. “This company’s opportunity is tremendous. It recognizes that entrepreneurship and experience must do more than merely co-exist, they can flourish. FiscalNote is poised for explosive growth.”
Kilmer joins a leadership team that has also been expanded to include top strategic and operational talent from data science, legal, enterprise technology, politics and global services, including VP of Research Vlad Eidelman, VP of Engineering Ajay Chadha, VP of Corporate Development and Acting General Counsel Arthur Karell, VP of Marketing Janet Hall, and VP of Client Success and Professional Services Taj Chada.
