The appointment comes as Motive builds on the strongest quarter in its history. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) crossed $600 million, and ARR growth accelerated to 30% year-over-year.

“Andrew joins Motive at our strongest moment yet, with our AI delivering real results for customers every day,” said Thomas Hansen, President, Go-To-Market at Motive. “He’s a proven enterprise leader who knows how to build a category-defining brand and a growth engine to match. That’s exactly what we need to bring Motive to more of the companies that keep the world moving.”

“Motive is setting the standard for AI in physical operations,” said Andrew Bennett, Chief Marketing Officer at Motive. “Our AI sees what’s happening on the road and in the field and takes action to prevent collisions, keep vehicles and equipment running and eliminate manual work. I’m thrilled to join this team to help drive Motive’s next phase of growth and scale and put Motive’s AI to work for the world’s largest and most complex operations.”

Andrew brings more than two decades of marketing and sales leadership experience. He joins Motive from Elementum, an AI workflow orchestration platform, where he most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer. Previously, he was Chief Marketing Officer at Conga, a commercial operations platform. Before that, he spent a decade at Smartsheet, a work management platform, where he built the demand generation function and led commercial sales before becoming Chief Marketing Officer.
