Chief Technology Officer
2019 - 2020
David Clarke is chief technology officer at Workday, and is responsible for defining and communicating the strategic direction of the company’s technology.
Senior VP Engineering
2008 - 2019
Having joined Workday via the acquisition of Cape Clear in 2008, I worked in a variety of senior roles, and ran the engineering group for 7 years from 2012-2019. This encompassed the development, operations, infrastructure, integrations, analytics and security organizations. During this time, the team grew from about 150 people to about 1500. Our transaction workload scaled from <1MM/month to >20Bn/month, and our ARR scaled from about US$5M to US$5B. As a member of the SMT, I was intimately involved in all aspects of the company's technical and business operations as we scaled from our first customers to being a large public company.
