Nick Ford is the chief marketing officer at [Mendix](/org/mendix), where he sits at the intersection between the customer, sales team and product development team, giving him unique insight into how products are developed, sold and applied to solve business problems. He is responsible for more than 100 employees, overseeing [Mendix](/org/mendix)’s product marketers and evangelists, sales enablement, digital operations, education, and data teams. He hasn’t always had this oversight, however.

Ford credits his father for introducing him to computer programming by gifting the young teenager a ZX Spectrum kit, enabling colorful, programmable gaming. Thus inspired, Ford launched his 30-plus-year career in the software development space, beginning as a COBOL programmer and software consultant for north England’s steel industry.

In 2010, Ford joined [Mendix](/org/mendix) as solutions architect/sales engineer when the young company had fewer than 40 employees. The same year, Ford was chosen to launch the company’s first branch in the United Kingdom, based in London. As a product expert and technical entrepreneur, Ford spent a decade helming product marketing for platform launches that transformed [Mendix](/org/mendix) into a multi-million-dollar, low-code industry leader.

Ford cites his “appetite to change, adapt, and purposefully chase opportunities” as the drivers fueling his rise from software developer to chief marketing officer of a global enterprise.
