BOSTON, Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Alignable.com, The Small Business Network, has just surpassed a major milestone – a whopping 2.5 million small businesses are now part of its North American membership. To capitalize on this explosive growth, the company has hired two senior leaders focused on propelling revenue, marketing, branding, and communications.

In just the last year, the network has grown over 150 percent, dramatically increasing the number of businesses forging valuable connections, improving their visibility, making referrals to one another, and ultimately increasing their revenue.

To date, 30 million+ connections have been made across North America on Alignable and millions of referrals have been exchanged. At least 400,000 small businesses reach out to each other on the network every week.

"We started this company because we knew small business owners needed a trusted network to help them grow. Now that they have that network, we're at scale and we're setting our sights on transforming the global small business economy," Alignable's CEO and Co-Founder Eric Groves said. "It's the perfect time to bring in two marketing powerhouses to take us to the next level both nationally and internationally."

Alignable's two new hires are Chief Marketing Officer Daniel Gilmartin and Head of Content Marketing Charles Casto. Gilmartin is focused on expanding revenue channels and further accelerating engagement. Casto is spearheading everything from branding and positioning to PR, social media, and promotions.  

Gilmartin's career has focused on growing subscriber engagement and revenue for SaaS platforms benefiting small businesses. He was most recently Pingup's CMO and Head of Product, and previously held the same role at BlueConic. Earlier in his career, he had leadership positions at PayPal, Where, Sprint and Verisign. At Where, Gilmartin significantly drove subscription revenue, which helped the company reach profitability and positioned it for an eventual sale to PayPal. 

Casto is best known for helping to launch Wayfair. He started Wayfair's corporate communications department from scratch, running global PR and social media for nearly five years. Prior to that, he held VP roles at top global agencies, promoting brands including Wendy's, Miller, Harley-Davidson, and Bank of America.

Casto has a passion to help small businesses succeed having himself been a small business owner for many years.

"Our goal is to become the one place small business owners turn to for anything they need to grow or manage their success," said Alignable's President and Co-Founder Venkat Krishnamurthy. "With our scale and momentum, we're perfectly poised to leverage the Dream Team of Dan and Chuck to accomplish just that." 

Alignable is continuing its hiring streak, hoping to fill the following roles quickly: business analyst, product manager, front end developer, full stack developer, software architect, and UI/UX product designers.
