Marne Martin
Travel and expense platform Emburse has hired experienced software executive Marne Martin as the company’s new CEO.
Martin, who took up her new position last week, was most recently chief strategy officer and president of software company IFS. She was previously CEO of field management software provider ServicePower and CFO of UK-based telecommunications and defence consulting firm Norcon.
Former CEO Eric Friedrichsen, who has led Emburse since its formation in early 2020 following the unification of its brands including Certify and Chrome River, has moved to a new role as a member of Emburse's board of directors.
BTN named Friedrichsen as one of its 25 Most Influential people in 2023 following Emburse's acquisition of TripBam last year, the latest in a series of acquisitions that also has included Roadmap.
Friedrichsen described Martin in a statement as “the right CEO to continue this rapid trajectory of growth”.
Martin added: “Emburse has successfully integrated several solutions and businesses, executed a number of transactions, and has acquired some of the world’s largest and most high-profile companies as customers.
“As a result, we are well positioned to accelerate the value we deliver to our customers and scale the company to serve the world’s largest enterprises for many years to come.”
