SAN FRANCISCO: Factory, the company behind enterprise AI coding agents known as Droids, today announced that Marcello Gallo has joined as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

Gallo joins Factory after serving as CRO at Sigma, where he helped lead the company through 300% growth in annual recurring revenue. Previously, he was CRO at Moveworks, now a ServiceNow company, where he helped grow one of the earliest enterprise AI platforms adopted by the Fortune 500, growing the business 400% in revenue before its acquisition. Earlier in his career, he held senior sales leadership roles at MongoDB, helping scale the company into a category leader in modern database infrastructure.

"Marcello is a legend in the enterprise software industry. He's scaled multiple of the leading enterprise software companies of the last decade," said Matan Grinberg, co-founder and CEO of Factory. "He built world-class go-to-market teams selling AI to enterprises at Moveworks, and he scaled Sigma into one of the most important data companies in the market. At Factory, we're building for the next generational shift of enterprise software. Marcello is an industry leader in scaling high-growth startups, and we are humbled to have him steer the next chapter of hyper-growth for Factory."

His appointment comes as enterprises move beyond experimentation and begin to make long-term decisions about how agents are moving into production. Factory already enables teams at global enterprises like NVIDIA, Morgan Stanley, EY, Palo Alto Networks, RBC, and Revolut to deploy agents across the software development lifecycle, and the company has grown rapidly as enterprises rapidly transform their organizations to be agent-native.

Earlier this year, the company announced a $150 million Series C financing at a $1.5 billion valuation. The company also introduced Factory Router, a revolutionary new product that automatically selects the right model for each coding task, cutting costs 20-25% while maintaining frontier model performance.

"Throughout my career, I've looked for companies that are revolutionizing enterprise technology and decision making," said Gallo. "That's what drew me to Factory. Every company is focused on building their internal agentic platform and Factory is approaching this by enabling enterprises to own their software factory, which is model agnostic and embedded where engineers work. The team has built a solution that enables enterprises to truly modernize enterprise code while retaining flexibility, control and production-grade agents at scale."
