Xtime Names Jim Doehrman CFO
Redwood Shores, Calf. — Xtime, a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) and scheduling platform for the automotive service industry, named Jim Doehrman its new chief financial officer.
Doehrman joins Xtime from Gracenote Inc., provider of music and video content and technologies to entertainment and automotive brands.

Doehrman also served as CFO of ADP’s Automotive Claims Management software division, and before that as chief operating and financial officer for Versata, a publicly-traded web application company. He also served at the financial helm of Octane, a customer relationship management (CRM) software player, where he helped manage the company’s $3.6 billion merger with E.piphany.
"Jim's extensive experience with automotive and technology leaders like ADP, Octane, Versata and Gracenote compliments his demonstrated financial leadership. Jim’s skills are exactly what Xtime needs to help guide us through our continued rapid growth and international expansion," said Neal East, Xtime CEO. “We’re delighted to have him on board.”
