Bombora, the leading provider of B2B Intent data solutions, today announced that it has hired Jeff Marcoux as Chief Marketing Officer and Elena Drozd, Ph.D, as Vice President of Data Science. Marc Johnson, the current CMO & GM, will shift to the role of Chief Operating Officer.
Marcoux, a veteran marketer who has twice worked with Bombora as a customer, has been working closely with Bombora’s marketing team as a consultant for the past year. Prior to that, he was Head of Product & Vertical Marketing at Icertis. He has also held leadership roles at TTEC and Microsoft. Marcoux is also a professor of marketing at Oregon State University, teaching advanced digital marketing and demand generation courses.
Drozd joins Bombora from Oracle, where she most recently served as Senior Director, Data Science & Advanced Analytics.

At Bombora, she will oversee the proprietary and patented methods and models that make Bombora the only company to witness the complete buyer’s journey across its data cooperative.
Johnson joined Bombora as CMO & GM in 2016 and has built the company into the most widely known and respected brand in the B2B data space by making the Company Surge® product synonymous with Intent data. As COO, he will focus on alignment and operational efficiency across the company.
