EDINA, Minn.: Parallax, a leading provider of predictive forecasting and resource management software, announced today that Jeff Eckerle has been appointed as the company’s new CEO. Eckerle succeeds Tom O’Neill, Parallax’s founding CEO, who led the company’s early growth and established it as a trailblazer in helping digital service organizations unlock the full potential of their teams.

Parallax developed a platform designed for professional services firms with robust predictive analytics, resource management and strategic planning capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with clients’ existing systems, replacing complex spreadsheets and fragmented forecasting tools with a single, data-driven platform.

“Founding Parallax has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible team and visionary customers to build software that helps companies align their business goals with their people’s ambitions,” said Tom O’Neill, Founding CEO of Parallax. “The company is in great hands with Jeff Eckerle, whose expertise makes him the ideal leader for Parallax’s next phase of innovation.”

Eckerle brings extensive industry and leadership experience, as well as a proven track record in scaling technology companies. His leadership will support Parallax as it continues to introduce new features and improvements, including recently launched timesheet capabilities that streamline time-tracking and billing within the platform, adding another layer of functionality for clients.

“Parallax stands out for its excellent core product and dedication to transforming businesses through smarter resource management,” said Jeff Eckerle, CEO of Parallax. “With several key product enhancements set to launch in the coming months, we're more focused than ever on how evolving technology is creating opportunities for our customers to redefine how they manage people and deliver projects. It's an incredibly exciting time to be leading a software company in this space.”

Parallax raised a $12 Million Series B funding round in 2023, bringing total funding to $24.5 Million with backing from Baird Ventures, Grotech and Rally Ventures.

“Jeff’s combination of product and industry knowledge, GTM expertise and people-focused leadership is optimal for guiding Parallax’s next phase of growth,” said Jeff Hinck, Partner at Rally Ventures. “Tom laid a solid foundation with a strong core product. We’re confident that Jeff’s leadership will build on that great success.”
