Multiverse, the upskilling platform for tech and AI adoption, today announces the appointment of London-based Donn D’Arcy as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
D’Arcy joins from MongoDB, where as Head of EMEA he helped scale the business to $700M in ARR, representing over 30% of MongoDB’s global revenue. His appointment as CRO will help scale Multiverse's goal to build the AI adoption layer for the enterprise through transforming workforce skills.
D’Arcy is the latest in a series of strategic Multiverse leadership appointments in the past year, including MongoDB’s Jillian Gillespie as CFO and digital pioneer Martha Lane Fox to the Board. This latest move underpins Multiverse’s ambition to become a generational British tech success story by solving a critical problem: while companies are investing heavily in AI tools, they lack the workforce skills to unlock their true value.
D’Arcy brings extensive experience in scaling high-growth technology companies. Prior to his success at MongoDB, he spent over twelve years at BMC Software, where he led BMC UK to $500M in revenue, making it the top-performing region worldwide. His expertise will be instrumental as Multiverse builds upon its partnerships with leading global companies. Multiverse works with over a quarter of the FTSE 100, as well as 100 NHS trusts and more than 55 local councils.
Euan Blair, Founder and CEO of Multiverse, said: “Truly seizing the AI opportunity requires companies to build a bridge between tech and talent - both within Multiverse and for our customers. Bringing on a world-class leader like Donn, with his incredible track record at MongoDB, is a critical step in our goal to equip every business with the workforce of tomorrow.”
Donn D’Arcy, Chief Revenue Officer at Multiverse, said: “Enterprise AI adoption won't happen without fixing the skills gap. Multiverse is the critical partner for any company serious about making AI a reality, and its focus on developing people as the most crucial component of the tech stack is what really drew me to the organisation. The talent density, and the pathway to hyper growth, means the next chapter here is tremendously exciting.”
D’Arcy joins as Multiverse continues to ramp up business momentum. Multiverse has more than doubled its revenue in the last two years, with more than 22,000 learners now in its global community of tech, data and AI upskillers.
To accelerate this growth and help organisations capitalise on AI, the company recently announced a commitment to create 15,000 new AI apprenticeships over the next two years, directly addressing the skills bottleneck that hinders technology adoption.
