Multiverse names MongoDB’s Head of EMEA Donn D’Arcy as its new Chief Revenue Officer

Training platform Multiverse has named Donn D’Arcy as is new Chief Revenue Officer, as the company reports accelerating growth.

D’Arcy joins Multiverse from database provider MongoDB, where he served as Head of EMEA, helping to scale the business to $700 million in Annual Recurring Revenue.

Multiverse says D’Arcy will help scale its goal to build the artificial intelligence (AI) adoption layer for enterprises and solve the workforce skills gap in AI. 

“Enterprise AI adoption won't happen without fixing the skills gap. Multiverse is the critical partner for any company serious about making AI a reality, and its focus on developing people as the most crucial component of the tech stack is what really drew me to the organisation,” explains Donn D’Arcy, Chief Revenue Officer at Multiverse. “The talent density, and the pathway to hyper growth, means the next chapter here is tremendously exciting.”

Prior to joining MongoDB, D’Arcy spent more than 12 years at American company BMC Software, where he helped deliver UK revenue of $500 million, making it the company’s top-performing country worldwide. 

The appointment comes shortly after Jillian Gillespie joined as Chief Financial Officer, also from MongoDB and as Multiverse continues to drive business momentum. The company says its revenue “more than doubled” in the last two years and reports that more than 22,000 learners are now using its technology.

Euan Blair, Founder and CEO of Multiverse, comments: “Truly seizing the AI opportunity requires companies to build a bridge between tech and talent - both within Multiverse and for our customers. Bringing on a world-class leader like Donn, with his incredible track record at MongoDB, is a critical step in our goal to equip every business with the workforce of tomorrow.”

The news comes shortly after Multiverse announced plans to create 15,000 new AI apprenticeships over the next two years, aiming to address the UK’s skills gap.
