Chief Revenue Officer Motus

Last Reviewed: September 27, 2026

Executive Summary

Vanessa Brangwyn is Chief Revenue Officer of Motus, the Boston company whose software handles mileage and vehicle reimbursement, driver risk management and related tools for employees who drive their own cars for work. Motus appointed her in March 2024. Her background is in customer-facing leadership rather than sales alone. Before Motus she was Global Head of Customers at the planning software company Pigment, and at Achievers, the employee recognition company, she was both Chief Customer Officer and Chief Revenue Officer. Motus’s board includes partners of Thoma Bravo and Permira, which fits the subject of her 2025 podcast appearance: how revenue leadership works in a company backed by private equity.

Career Highlights

• Chief Revenue Officer of Motus since March 2024, listed on the company’s leadership team as of its July 2026 update.
• Global Head of Customers at Pigment, the business planning platform, before joining Motus.
• Chief Customer Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Achievers, the employee engagement and recognition company.
• Guest on The Revenue Leadership Podcast in March 2025, discussing what CROs of private equity-backed companies do differently.

Professional Journey

Brangwyn’s career is built on customer success, the part of software go-to-market that keeps and grows existing accounts rather than winning new ones. A March 2025 podcast profile describes her moving up from customer success manager to chief customer officer and then to chief revenue officer. It places much of that at Achievers, the employee engagement and recognition company, while its revenue grew from about $5 million to more than $100 million. Motus’s own announcement confirms that she held both the Chief Customer Officer and the Chief Revenue Officer roles at Achievers.

She then became Global Head of Customers at Pigment, the business planning platform, and held that role until she joined Motus.

Motus announced her appointment as Chief Revenue Officer on 13 March 2024. The company sells software for managing employee driving: tax-advantaged mileage and vehicle reimbursement, automatic GPS mileage tracking, driver monitoring and license verification, and safety training. It serves businesses that would otherwise run company-car fleets or pay flat car allowances. In the announcement she said she “couldn’t be happier to join the Motus team with its remarkable culture, drive for success and incredible customer base.”

She remains on Motus’s leadership team as of its latest update, which lists her with Chief Executive Officer Phong Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer Jason Levine and Chief Customer Officer Matthew Tremmaglia. The board includes partners and operating partners from Thoma Bravo and Permira. The podcast describes her experience spanning companies backed by venture capital, publicly listed companies and companies owned by private equity.
