Lindsey Irvine, CMO of MuleSoft: A galvanizing leader who is confronting marketing challenges with unmoved determination

APIs, or application program interfaces, are vital tools for businesses in all industries. The importance of APIs from a technical standpoint, they allow the capabilities of one computer program to be used by another. They are a means by which two different applications can communicate. APIs enable companies to grow their businesses more quickly than ever before and represent an answer for the organizations currently spending more than $590 billion per year integrating disparate systems. Like the Web, which opened up the Internet's potential, APIs drive a new wave of innovation centered on sharing services. Organizations in all industries are looking to learn more about APIs and their potential to transform the business processes. APIs have the potential to transform businesses. Traditional strategies rely on large sales forces, paperwork, and other time-consuming, outdated, and expensive measures to run their businesses, and the practice is becoming less sustainable all the time.

Why the name Mule

The "mule" in the company's name comes from the drudgery, or "donkey work," of data integration that their platform was created to escape. Like a mule, the firm delivers the strength of a donkey to haul the heavy workload, and the speed of a racehorse to get it done quickly. MuleSoft fits the bill.
