Steve Lucas

Chairman & CEO at Boomi

Steve Lucas is a multi-time CEO with 27 years of leadership experience in enterprise software. He has held CEO and senior executive roles at some of the world’s leading cloud organizations, including Marketo, iCIMS, Adobe, SAP, Salesforce and BusinessObjects. Lucas led both Marketo and iCIMS’ growth and transformation as CEO, driving successful multi-billion-dollar acquisitions and billion-dollar strategic investments for both organizations.

As the CEO of iCIMS, Lucas drove growth and profitability through product innovation and five strategic acquisitions over a three-year period. He established iCIMS’ position as the world’s leading talent acquisition cloud platform, as well as launched an entirely new product line, the Talent Cloud for recruiting that enables 40% of the Fortune 100 to hire millions of people every year. In 2022, Lucas led a billion-dollar investment round in iCIMS from TA Associates, along with Vista Equity partners, nearly tripling the valuation of the business.

At Marketo, Lucas accelerated double-digit growth and profitability, leading the take-private turnaround of the company, which resulted in a $4.75B acquisition by Adode in 2018, the largest acquisition at the time in Adobe’s history. Lucas drove a complete transformation of the sales, marketing and product portfolio for the business, more than tripling the value of the business and doubling recurring revenue in a 24-month period.

Prior to joining Marketo in 2016, Lucas was President of SAP’s Platform & Analytics Products globally, including SAP’s HANA, PaaS, Database, Analytics, Data Integration and IoT businesses.

As a type 1 diabetic, he dedicates time to raising awareness, education and funds to find a cure. He has served on the boards of the American Diabetes Association and Children’s Diabetes Foundation, where he speaks to youth about managing their diabetes and overcoming obstacles.

Lucas holds a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Colorado, is a published author of several books, and serves on multiple philanthropic and education boards.
