New Chief Financial Officer, Chief Product Officer and Chief Customer Officer appointments bring executive depth from Recurly, Workday, Oracle, Salesforce and Zuora
DENVER – August 5, 2026 – BillingPlatform, the leader in AI-native monetization for global enterprises, today announced the expansion of its executive team with three strategic appointments: Steven Springsteel as Chief Financial Officer, Rob Zwiebach as Chief Product Officer and Chris King as Chief Customer Officer. The hires deepen BillingPlatform’s executive bench across finance, product and customer success as the company moves to capture the AI-native usage-to-cash market opportunity with enterprises worldwide.
In what MGI Research describes as “one of the most strategic software markets in enterprise technology,” BillingPlatform has achieved over 500% revenue growth in the past five years, serving enterprise leaders including J.P. Morgan, DIRECTV, Instacart, FIS, CCC Intelligent Solutions, Panera, Carrier and Clear Channel. The company’s AI-native usage-to-cash platform spans metering, billing, and revenue recognition on a single unified metadata model, enabling enterprise teams to configure, analyze and govern their billing operations conversationally.
BillingPlatform CEO Chris Bishop noted the strategic value, in-depth market knowledge, and operational expertise the new executives add for this AI-driven inflection point in the industry: “The executive depth we are adding reflects the huge opportunity in front of us. Steven brings billing-sector financial expertise that is directly relevant to what we are building and the scale we are targeting. Rob brings product leadership shaped by experience at Workday and Oracle, the same financial platforms many of our customers run on. And Chris brings the customer success discipline that turns an innovative platform into a great business. These are the leaders you add when you see market demand is accelerating and you add the expertise and scale to capture it.”
Steven Springsteel, Chief Financial Officer
Springsteel verfügt über mehr als 35 Jahre Erfahrung in leitenden Positionen im Finanz- und Betriebsbereich der Unternehmenssoftwarebranche. Er wechselt von Recurly, einer Abrechnungsplattform für Abonnements, zu BillingPlatform, wo er als Finanzvorstand tätig war. Im Laufe seiner Karriere hatte er verschiedene Positionen als Finanzvorstand und Geschäftsführer inne, unter anderem bei BetterWorks, MetricStream, Actian Corporation, Liquid Robotics und MarkLogic. Er hat zwei erfolgreiche Börsengänge geleitet, mehr als 400 Millionen US-Dollar an Eigen- und Fremdkapital beschafft und zahlreiche Fusionen und Übernahmen abgewickelt.
“Coming from a subscription billing company, I know BillingPlatform has built something genuinely differentiated — an AI-native architecture that handles the full revenue lifecycle on a single metadata model at an enterprise scale. The opportunity to help translate that technology advantage and fuel long-term financial growth is exactly why I am here,” said Springsteel.
Rob Zwiebach, Chief Product Officer
Zwiebach wechselt mit umfassender Expertise im Bereich Finanzanwendungen für Großunternehmen zu BillingPlatform und wird bei der Produktstrategie eng mit Leo Solomon, dem Gründer und CTO von BillingPlatform, zusammenarbeiten. Zuletzt war Zwiebach als Vice President of Product Management für das Finanzmanagement bei Workday tätig, wo er die Produkt-Roadmap für die Finanzsuite leitete, die weltweit von mehr als 2.100 Unternehmen genutzt wird. Vor seiner Tätigkeit bei Workday war er 17 Jahre lang bei Oracle tätig und hatte dort verschiedene Führungspositionen inne, darunter die des VP Financial Applications und des VP Applications Development.
“Enterprise finance teams have spent years struggling with billing infrastructure that cannot keep pace with how modern businesses configure, price and sell products and services. With BillingPlatform’s AI-native architecture and unified metadata model as the foundation, the product opportunity here is significant and I am excited to help the team accelerate delivering it,” said Zwiebach.
Chris King, Chief Customer Officer
King joins as Chief Customer Officer with 25 years in the technology industry building and scaling high-performing professional services, customer success and AI-enabled transformation organizations. He most recently served as Senior Vice President, Head of Customer Success, Services and Support at Medidata Solutions. Prior to Medidata, King held multiple senior vice president roles at Salesforce, including Customers for Life and Consulting, where he oversaw large-scale services operations and drove long-term client outcomes across Salesforce’s enterprise customer base. Earlier in his career, he held multiple leadership positions at Zuora.
“The companies winning in enterprise software today are the ones that turn a strong platform into consistently measurable customer outcomes — not just at implementation, but across the entire lifecycle. BillingPlatform’s AI-native platform creates real, durable advantages for customers and our team is focused on making sure they are empowered to capitalize on every one of them,” said King.
