BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marketbridge, the Growth Company for Business, today announced the appointments of Patrick Knight as Chief Financial Officer and Gina Larson as Chief People Officer, further strengthening the executive team behind the company’s global growth and transformation.
The appointments are part of Marketbridge’s broader ambition to build a world-class leadership team capable of challenging traditional agency and consulting models and creating a more connected approach to growth across strategy, AI, creativity, activation, and measurement.
“We are not simply adding executives. We are building the leadership team for the company we intend to become,” said Bob Ray, CEO of Marketbridge. “Patrick and Gina are exceptional leaders who understand what it takes to scale organizations through transformation. Patrick brings enormous global commercial and financial experience, while Gina understands that talent, culture, and leadership are fundamental to business performance. Both will play important roles in building the next Marketbridge.”
Knight brings more than 25 years of international finance and operational leadership spanning the UK, U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific. His career includes senior roles across media, technology, and professional services, with extensive experience in private equity and venture-backed businesses, business transformation, and scaling growth companies.
“Marketbridge has the opportunity to build something genuinely differentiated in the market,” said Knight. “Our priority is creating the financial and operating discipline that allows us to invest confidently, move quickly and scale globally.”
Larson brings more than two decades of global people and organizational leadership experience across founder-led, private equity-backed and Fortune 500 companies. An ICF-certified executive coach, she has led U.S. and international people functions and advised executives on workforce transformation, organizational design, leadership effectiveness and building high-performing cultures.
“The companies that win through periods of disruption are the ones that connect their business ambition with their people strategy,” said Larson. “We have an opportunity at Marketbridge to build a culture where exceptional people can do their best work while creating extraordinary outcomes for our clients.”
The appointments come during a period of significant expansion for Marketbridge as the company builds a unified global platform designed around how modern B2B organizations grow. Marketbridge is investing across leadership, AI, technology, data, and specialized capabilities while continuing to expand its work with leading global brands.
“Our ambition is straightforward,” Ray added. “We want to build the world’s most consequential growth partner for B2B companies. That requires exceptional capabilities, but more importantly, exceptional people leading them.”
