NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clair, a New York-based financial technology company, announced today the promotion of its Head of Growth, Lance Katigbak, to Chief Revenue Officer. The promotion follows recent announcements of new partnership deals with a number of leading HR tech companies, including When I Work and Workwell.

“I am very excited to welcome Lance to the company’s executive team,” shared Nico Simko, CEO and Co-Founder of Clair. “He’s a well-respected leader throughout Clair who has been integral not only to driving the successes and growth of the company, but also in positively shaping our culture.”

Katigbak joined the company as its Chief of Staff and first full-time employee, before eventually transitioning into the Head of Growth role. He has since built and currently leads the company’s go-to-market and distribution strategy, overseeing Clair’s Strategic Alliances, Marketing, Partner Success, and Commercial functions. Under his leadership, the company has signed partnerships with HR technology platforms that have over 5 million end users in a little over two years.
