NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stack Overflow, a leading knowledge-sharing platform visited by more than 100 million people each month, today announced the appointment of Matthew Gallatin as the company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Gallatin brings nearly three decades of leadership experience in finance and scaling high growth technology companies to Stack Overflow. He will oversee financial operations and partner with the senior leadership team to drive strategic growth across Stack Overflow’s two lines of business: Stack Overflow for Teams and Reach & Relevance.
“Many of the world’s most innovative companies and technologies are fueled by the collective power of Stack Overflow’s community and products, including Stack Overflow for Teams,” said Gallatin. “I’m looking forward to joining a company that is reshaping how people learn and share technical skills while also reimagining the future of how we work.”
Gallatin most recently served as CFO of Reltio and previously held CFO roles at Drawbridge, OneLogin, and ShareThis. He worked in finance leadership roles at Brand.net, Yahoo!, Applied Materials, and began his career as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch.
