Steven Chung
Prior to joining the BigCommerce, Chung most recently worked at Delphix Corp., an enterprise software development and IT operations company. He led Delphix’s strategic growth as its president, worldwide field operations since December 2020.
From May 2016 to December 2020, he served as senior vice president, worldwide sales, customer success, and services at Pagerduty, Inc., a digital operations management platform for businesses.
Prior to those roles, he has held numerous leadership roles, including at Demandware, Inc., which Salesforce acquired in July 2016. He served as senior vice president, worldwide sales from January 2013 to April 2016, and at OneLogin, Symantec, MicroStrategy, and PwC Consulting.
He holds a B.A. in liberal arts from the University of Michigan and an M.B.A. from the University of Southern California.
As president, BigCommerce will pay Chung a base annual salary of $460,000. He will be eligible to participate in an annual bonus program, with a target bonus of 80% of his annual base salary, BigCommerce says in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“As the global sales leader at Demandware when they moved upmarket, Steven wrote the playbook for a modern SaaS company to take on the enterprise ecommerce incumbents,” says Demandware CEO Brent Bellm.
