TeleSense announces key additions to its leadership team, appointing Tim Neilan and Betty Kayton as chief revenue officer and chief financial officer, respectively.
As CRO, Neilan will use his extensive experience designing targeted growth strategies that unify sales, marketing, and customer support functions to help TeleSense penetrate new markets, expand partnerships, and optimize distribution channels. With more than 15 years of experience, he most recently served as vice president of sales at Samsung Electronics America and the senior director of sales at T-Mobile USA.
An integral executive team member at multiple high-growth startups, Kayton will rely on her proven strategic planning skills, as well as her ability to develop and implement infrastructure for rapid growth across finance and administrative functions, to support TeleSense’s continued expansion in her new role as CFO.
Throughout her 25-year career in financial management, she has served as CFO at Dropbox, Dropcam, Neato Robotics, Vuclip, Viki and AngelList. She has also held senior positions at Fortune 500 companies including Citicorp and Fujitsu.
