Current role and company
MarTech360 reported on August 10, 2026 that ClickUp promoted Coleman to Global Vice President, Sales & Marketing. In that role he oversees sales and marketing worldwide and works to align the two teams around acquiring customers, generating demand, go-to-market strategy and revenue growth. ClickUp's own blog author page, which we also read, still shows the earlier title, Global VP, Marketing, so the promotion rests on one trade-press source and is worth confirming with ClickUp.
