INDIANAPOLIS (Inside INdiana Business) — Indianapolis-based Software-as-a-Service management platform Zylo has appointed Scott Dorsey as executive chairman. Dorsey, who also serves as managing partner at Indy venture studio High Alpha, will lead Zylo’s board of directors as part of his new role.

Zylo says Dorsey will also work with company leaders on key initiatives with the goal of helping the company continue to scale.

Dorsey was the co-founder and chief executive officer of ExactTarget, which is now known as Salesforce Marketing Cloud after being acquired by Salesforce in a $2.5 billion deal in 2013. He also recently served on the board for Utah-based Pluralsight as the company went through an Initial Public Offering and sale to Vista Equity Partners.
