Brainbase has welcomed Jim Ensell to the team as chief marketing officer.

“My background is quite diverse, says Ensell. “I began as an electrical engineer and moved up the ranks. Then, I moved into marketing as I realized that was my destiny. I’ve held marketing leadership positions in various public and privately held companies, ranging from startups to billion dollar-plus enterprises in many different markets delivering SaaS, cloud, enterprise SW and open-source solutions. I most recently was chief marketing officer at Chili Piper… I find the opportunity here at Brainbase to create a new category and disrupt the IP licensing industry incredibly exciting. I joined to be a part of this bold journey. I bought into Nate [Cavanaugh, co-founder and chief executive officer, Brainbase]’s vision for the future of Brainbase from the first time I met him.”
