With more than 15 years of accounting and finance experience working in consulting and corporate, I oversee Cision's finance and accounting functions as Chief Financial Officer. 

Prior to Cision I was Senior Vice President of Portfolio Operations at Platinum Equity. I was also Senior Vice President Transformation at Key Energy Services, and Vice President, Corporate Controller/Treasurer/Business Transformation at BlueLine Rental. Before moving to corporate, I worked in Alvarez & Marsal’s restructuring practice.

I’m Channing Ferrer and I’m the President of Brandwatch. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of being a revenue leader, advisor, and early-stage investor to numerous global technology companies in various phases of growth, and have enjoyed building revenue teams and improving processes across many of the companies I’ve worked with.

Prior to joining Brandwatch, I held roles as Chief Sales Officer for Semrush, and Chief Revenue Officer for Built In. I also led the growth of HubSpot from $200m to $1.5b in revenue over a 6-year period, building the GTM operating system, KPIs, processes, and tools they continue to leverage today.

I earned my BS in Business Management from Villanova University, and I currently live in Wayland, Massachusetts with my wife, son, and daughter. 

I'm President of CisionOne and lead the company's global media monitoring division. I joined Cision in April 2022 from Streem where I served as co-founder and CEO, leading the business from start-up to funding and through to acquisition, and overseeing an operation that grew to 150+ staff and over 700 customers across the APAC region. Before founding Streem, I was an adviser in the Office of the Prime Minister (Australia), an experience that served as a driving force behind the creation of Streem for the PR and Communications market.

Today at Cision I am charged with the global roll-out of CisionOne, our market-leading media monitoring, analytics, and reporting platform. I oversee the Sales, Product, Engineering, Upgrades, and Media Data functions of CisionOne, enabling us to build out a highly-tuned, customer-driven platform – a philosophy that has been carried through from the success of Streem in the APAC region.

I reside in Sydney, Australia, travel often, and in my downtime spend a great deal of time either sailing on our city's harbor or skiing at the nearest ski field depending on the season or where I'm located.
