Event management technology provider Hubb, which specializes
in event data and intelligence, won $6.3 million in Series B funding last month
in a round led by Five Elms Capital. It brought the startup's total raise to
$10 million. Today, the company put some of that investment to work, announcing
Marty Choate as the startup's first VP enterprise solutions. The former senior
digital marketing for Microsoft was a client of Hubb. At Microsoft, Choate led
the planning, design and execution of digital tools and platforms across the
tech giant's flagship events. At Hubb, he will focus on building operations and
support enterprise customers with customized solutions.
