Blackpearl chief revenue officer Cherryl Pressley said Colebourne’s “… experience in marketing, startups, and recent role as head of growth make her an ideal person to come in as our chief marketing officer. She … will help us take our products, particularly Pearl Diver, into new markets and industries directly.
