TEAMology, an education technology startup based in Chambersburg, has hired Gretchen Thompson as its first-ever chief revenue officer, where she will lead sales, business development, strategic partnerships and marketing initiatives.
Thompson has held sales, marketing and leadership positions for a number of education-related startups, including ClassLink, Qwizdom and Vizzle.
She worked most recently for Baltimore-based Allovue, which developed finance software for schools.
PowerSchool, a publicly traded edtech firm, bought Allovue in January for about $42 million in cash, according to SEC filings.
“We are thrilled to have Gretchen join our team as CRO to significantly expand our growth and elevate our mission to provide mental health access to all children at a time when they so desperately need it,” TEAMology founder and CEO Linsey Covert said in a statement.
The background: Founded in 2016, TEAMology has developed a tech-based curriculum designed to support mental and emotional wellness in students.
TEAMology’s investors include State College-based Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern Pennsylvania and York-based White Rose Ventures.
In addition to hiring a revenue chief, TEAMology is moving to State College effective April 1, according to Lindsay Fairman, the company’s chief operating and technology officer.
Covert is a Penn State graduate and laid the foundation for the company while studying there for a master’s degree in education.
TEAMology employs 17 people, Fairman said.
