INDIANAPOLIS--ExactTarget, a global provider of on-demand email and one-to-one marketing solutions, announced today that its top financial and administrative officer has earned the title of CFO of the Year.

The Indianapolis Business Journal awarded Traci Dolan, ExactTarget’s chief financial officer and chief administrative officer, the honor at a ceremony Tuesday in Indianapolis for her leadership in managing the company’s 35 consecutive quarters of growth.

“Traci has been instrumental in helping us strike the right balance between rapid growth and profitability. Her leadership and integrity set the tone for many areas of our business, including our corporate culture,” said Scott Dorsey, ExactTarget’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “From helping to drive responsible growth to raising capital from leading Boston and Silicon Valley venture firms to opening our first office in London, Traci is an incredible asset and we are fortunate to have her on the ExactTarget team.”

Since joining ExactTarget in 2004, Dolan has led the company’s financial and administrative functions amid 400 percent revenue growth, the addition of more than 300 employees and exponential expansion of the company’s client list around the world. In 2009 alone, Dolan served a key role in securing the firm’s historic round of venture capital investment, completing the acquisition of London-based Keymail Marketing and opening a global operation in Europe.

“While the down economy certainly presented challenges to all businesses in 2009, ExactTarget has welcomed tremendous growth,” Dolan said. “While others have scaled back investment, we’ve done just the opposite. We have chosen to invest in people and technology that support our growth and our clients’ success.”

Dolan’s accolade follows Deloitte naming ExactTarget one of the 500 fastest growing technology, companies in North America. Already this year, ExactTarget has garnered recognition from organizations around the world including:

• Inc Magazine naming ExactTarget to the Inc 5000 list for the fourth consecutive year.
• Microsoft naming the company a finalist in the Software-plus-Services, Development Partner of the Year category of the 2009 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference Awards.
