Company
Cerivo is a newly established company formed through the consolidation of four Danish GRC companies RISMA Systems, ComplyCloud, Wired Relations and Openli. Backed by Triple Private Equity with the objective to take the company to a market leading position in the Nordics. The Cerivo platform brings together best-in-class capabilities across data privacy, information security, and risk management that help companies run a trusted business. Today serving over 1.500 customers across the Nordics, with double digits in ARR and with the ambition to triple revenue over the next private equity cycle.
Search Background
Having previously worked with Mathias, CRO at Cerivo, on a VP Sales mandate during his time at Trackunit, Mathias re-engaged Erevena to support the search for a growth-oriented marketing leader. The mandate focused on identifying a marketer with strong experience in driving brand and positioning across new markets, with a particular emphasis on the Nordics. This role was critical for Cerivo, given the group’s recent consolidation and the strategic importance of creating a unified brand and a scalable demand-generation function to support the next phase of growth.
Requirements
Cerivo was looking for a senior, growth-oriented marketing leader with full ownership of the marketing budget and proven experience driving cross-functional alignment across sales, GTM, and product. The role required a strategic, data-driven profile with experience scaling marketing organizations and driving revenue growth through performance marketing, account-based marketing, and brand initiatives. The VP Marketing would lead positioning and messaging, develop a comprehensive go-to-market strategy across the Nordics, and establish Cerivo as a thought leader within the GRC space, with prior experience in highly regulated environments considered advantageous.
Result
Erevena introduced Jennifer Montague to Cerivo. Jennifer has built her career within the Danish scale-up ecosystem, having held senior marketing roles at Planday, Dixa, and Onomondo. Most recently, she has supported Verdane across their portfolio companies with relevant exposure to compliance-focused businesses, including Stratsys and Verified, giving her strong, first-hand experience in Cerivo’s domain.
