SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Apollo.io, a leading AI-native go-to-market platform, today announced that Matt Curl has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Founder Tim Zheng will continue as Chairman of the Board.

Curl and Zheng have partnered closely for nearly six years, and Curl has worked with Apollo across multiple stages of the company’s journey, including advising the business starting in 2019, before joining full-time as Chief Operating Officer. Together, Curl and Zheng have strengthened Apollo’s operating foundation, raised the bar on execution, and accelerated Apollo’s momentum, positioning the company for its next phase of scale.

Under Curl’s operating leadership over the past year, Apollo accelerated growth at scale while improving margins. The company is approaching $200M in annual recurring revenue and nearly 100,000 paying customers, and recently delivered its strongest January, Q4, and year-to-date revenue growth. Apollo has also grown more than 5x since its Series D, scaling with strong capital efficiency and a healthy balance sheet.

“This transition is deliberate, and one I feel extremely confident about,” said Tim Zheng, Founder and Chairman of Apollo. “Matt has been a catalyst for Apollo’s growth and execution. He’s strengthened our operating foundation, scaled the business with discipline, and helped position Apollo for its next phase of growth. Matt is the best person to lead Apollo forward.”

“I appreciate the trust of Tim, the Board, and all of our employees. The company is entering the next phase from a position of strength,” said Matt Curl, CEO of Apollo. “We’re building the system of record and system of action for modern go-to-market. Apollo’s mission is to democratize growth — giving every company access to the data, intelligence, and execution that used to be reserved for the few. The most ambitious, AI-first teams are building their GTM on Apollo, and we’re well positioned to scale to $500M in ARR and beyond.”

Apollo continues to expand its AI capabilities across the platform as customers adopt Apollo to run their end-to-end go-to-market workflows.

Zheng will remain actively involved as Chairman, supporting Curl and Apollo’s leadership team through the transition.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
