CHICAGO, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptake, the leading industrial intelligence system delivering AI-driven asset optimization through cloud-agnostic SaaS, announced today the appointment of Linda Bartman as Chief Operating Officer. As Uptake experiences unprecedented customer and product growth, Bartman joins to meet that demand by expanding business operations and strengthening customer experience. Having previously held senior leadership roles at companies such as Rewards Network, Trunk Club, CDK Global, and Cars.com, Bartman has a proven track record building critical business functions to empower disciplined and sustainable scalability.
"Linda brings unique acumen across business operations, marketing, and customer success as we deploy products and services to existing and new customers throughout the world," said Kayne Grau, Uptake's President. "Her expertise in transforming companies and operations—especially for businesses that leverage data and systems integration—along with her obsession over customer satisfaction, will only strengthen Uptake's position as a leader in the Industrial AI space."
Bartman has spent more than 15 years driving operational excellence initiatives to enhance and fortify outcomes in existing customer expansion, new customer deployment, and ongoing customer success, foundational elements in Uptake's growth. She spent three years at Trunk Club—following its acquisition by Nordstrom—as the COO, dramatically increasing growth, profitability, and achieving new levels of customer service.

"With the team, I will be laser-focused on broadening our capabilities and deploying our software to more industries with even greater customer adoption and user satisfaction," said Bartman. "Uptake has earned its leadership position in the industry and is in an incredible place to deliver products that help companies to unlock data, making that data more accessible and actionable for business owners. The company's dedication to helping customers improve their businesses, creating a more reliable and productive world, is why I'm thrilled to join Uptake."
