Realising true value-added insights, business users gain real-time visibility to identify issues, trends and opportunities and instantly drill down to the underlying transaction to act. The key benefits are: • Real-time transparency into company performance across all busi- ness functions - from summary level to transaction level; • A single version of the truth with all your data residing in a single source; • Self-serve, personalised experience with easy-to-use reporting tools without requiring programming or technical resources and; • On-the-go access via web browser and mobile device. Jim McGeever In terms of my own job role here, I joined NetSuite in 2000 and was the company’s 15th employee. From 2000 until 2010, I served as Net- Suite’s Chief Financial Officer and drove NetSuite’s 2007 Initial Public Offering. I lead all business operations at Oracle NetSuite’s Global Business Unit and hold a B.Sc. from the London School of Economics. In 2007, I was named the Bay Area CFO of the Year. In 2010, I became the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) re- sponsible for global sales, services, and support operations. In my COO role, my management and execution have helped establish NetSuite as one of the leading cloud computing software companies in the world, more than tripling revenue from $193 million in 2010 to more than $700 million in 2015, based upon the company’s current 2015 revenue outlook. In 2015, I became the company’s president. In my role as President, I continue to report to NetSuite’s CEO and lead all customer, vertical, product and human resource activities. As a closing thought, I’d like to reminisce of how back in 2015, the CEO of NetSuite Zach Nel- son, said of me that: “Jim has done an amazing job as COO, and his customer-centric focus enabled NetSuite to deliver for customers and shareholders for the last five years.” The US COO of the Year for the US accolade went to Jim McGeever of NetSuite, after which we profiled his own role, plus the wider work of the company as the industry’s leading provider of cloud- based business management software.
