Leigh Moore and Ethan Schechter, who helped build Snyk from startup to developer security leader, join as SVP of Marketing and SVP of Global Sales
NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Qodo, the Agentic Code Quality platform, today announced the appointment of two senior executives: Leigh Moore as SVP of Marketing and Ethan Schechter as SVP of Global Sales. Moore brings over two decades of experience building and scaling marketing organizations at developer-focused companies, and Schechter brings 15+ years of proven sales leadership with a track record of driving transformative revenue growth. Together, they will amplify Qodo’s unique position as the leading Agentic Code Quality platform while accelerating growth across key markets and driving enterprise adoption.
Moore joins Qodo from Snyk, where she was an early marketing leader who helped scale the developer security company’s marketing organization from 3 to over 60 people. As VP of Marketing at Snyk, she played a pivotal role in the company’s transformation from startup to global leader. Her extensive background includes marketing leadership positions at VC firm Venture Guides as well as multiple B2B technology companies, bringing deep expertise in building high-performing teams and establishing category-defining narratives for developer tools.
With over 15 years of sales leadership experience in the developer tools space, Schechter most recently served as VP of Sales at Snyk for nearly seven years. He was instrumental in scaling the company’s enterprise sales organization and securing major customers including Google, MongoDB, and Salesforce. Prior to Snyk, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at a developer tools company where he built the sales organization from the ground up and drove transformative growth leading to a successful acquisition. His track record includes two successful exits and expertise spanning the full sales lifecycle from early-stage scaling to enterprise expansion.
“I’m thrilled to join Qodo at such a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI-powered software development,” said Leigh Merrigan Moore. “In a market flooded with AI coding tools, Qodo stands apart with its comprehensive approach to the entire software development lifecycle – not just code generation, but the critical areas of code review and testing that ensure quality at scale. My focus will be on amplifying this differentiated story and helping more development teams worldwide understand why Qodo’s end-to-end vision is what enterprises need to confidently adopt AI.”
“What excites me most about Qodo is the immediate value proposition for enterprise customers,” said Ethan Schechter. “Having spent years at Snyk building relationships with engineering leaders at Fortune 500 companies, I’ve heard their concerns firsthand about AI adoption – they want the productivity gains but can’t risk code quality or security vulnerabilities. Qodo solves this elegantly by embedding quality checks throughout the development process, not as an afterthought. I’m eager to work with our sales team to help more enterprises realize how this technical advantage translates into real business value.”
Qodo enables development teams across industries to build higher-quality software through AI-powered code review, testing, and generation. The platform integrates seamlessly into existing developer workflows, providing context-aware AI assistance that understands each organization’s unique coding standards and best practices. By adopting Qodo’s quality-first approach, enterprises accelerate development cycles while maintaining code reliability and reducing technical debt.
“Professional development organizations want to work with AI products they trust, and that trust comes not only from the product, but from the people they interact with,” said Itamar Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Qodo. “With Ethan and Leigh leading our go-to-market efforts, we have leaders who’ve earned that trust throughout their careers. Their combined expertise – from building world-class marketing organizations to establishing top-performing enterprise sales teams – and their shared experience transforming Snyk into a global powerhouse will be invaluable as we set the standard for quality in AI-powered development.”
