OSLO, Norway and LONDON, UK — April 2, 2026 — Ardoq, the leader in intelligent, data-driven Enterprise Architecture (EA), today announced the promotion of Sunny Dhami to Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). A key architect of Ardoq’s recent market strategy, Dhami will lead the company’s global marketing organization with a mandate to scale the brand, deepen customer engagement, and cement Ardoq’s leadership in the enterprise technology landscape.
Dhami’s elevation to the C-suite comes after a successful two-year tenure as VP of Product & Solutions Marketing, during which he was pivotal in sharpening the company’s go-to-market (GTM) strategy and aligning product innovation with market demand. He brings a formidable track record of over 15 years in brand building and demand generation for high-growth SaaS and communication giants.
Prior to Ardoq, Dhami served as the VP of Product Marketing at Sinch, where he was instrumental in building new GTM motions and driving category transformation through multiple high-profile acquisitions. His career also includes senior leadership roles at RingCentral, where he managed Marketing and Product Marketing for their extensive international portfolio. This deep experience in navigating companies through critical growth inflection points makes him uniquely suited to lead Ardoq’s next era of expansion.
"Sunny’s impact on Ardoq was immediate and substantive," said Erik Bakstad, Co-founder and CEO of Ardoq. "He joined us with a rare combination of deep product understanding and global market-scaling experience. He has already fundamentally shaped how we communicate our platform's strategic value. Elevating him to CMO is a natural progression that recognizes his proven ability to connect our product's power to customer ROI. I am confident his leadership will be a catalyst for our growth as we scale globally."
Dhami takes the helm during a period of unprecedented market validation. As organizations face renewed pressure to optimize costs, Ardoq has emerged as the definitive engine for operational efficiency. Ardoq customers typically reduce application portfolios by up to 29%, with many reporting $800,000 in savings within the first year and up to $1.3M in reduced technical debt annually.
This tangible ROI has solidified Ardoq’s position as a 5-time Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools. Further validating this momentum, the company was recently named a 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice, boasting a 95% Willingness to Recommend and a 4.9/5 Support Experience rating.
An award-winning marketer and recognized voice in the technology sector, Dhami is a frequent international speaker focused on the intersection of technical innovation and business value.
"Having spent the last two years deeply embedded with Ardoq's customers, I've seen the transformative power our platform has on simplifying digital complexity," said Sunny Dhami, CMO of Ardoq. "The opportunity ahead is immense. We have a world-class team and a genuinely category-defining product that is critical for today's enterprises. I am honored to step into this role and look forward to scaling our story, building a world-class marketing organization, and empowering more businesses to make faster, data-backed decisions and transform for the future."
