As TestFit Scales Rapidly, Laura Paciano Appointed Chief Growth Officer
DALLAS, TX — February 6, 2026 — TestFit, the leading real estate development feasibility platform, today announced the appointment of Laura Paciano as Chief Growth Officer (CGO).
Paciano will lead a newly unified growth organization, bringing together TestFit’s product, sales, marketing, and customer support teams. This integrated approach supports the accelerated adoption across real estate development, architecture, and construction industries.
The appointment coincides with TestFit’s 10th anniversary, marking a decade of building software that helps teams make faster, more confident development decisions. From its early beginnings, TestFit has remained focused on solving real problems in early-stage feasibility.
Paciano has been a key leader at TestFit, known for her ability to connect strategy to execution. She has an impressive history at early-stage startups, leading them through hyper-growth to eventual IPOs.
“During a business trip in Chicago, Laura challenged my thinking and helped me see that we weren’t trying to disrupt BIM — we were creating a new category altogether,” said Clifton Harness, Co-Founder and CEO of TestFit. “Since then, I’ve watched her bring clarity and focus to an early founder vision, turning it into a category-defining company.”
Over her 20-year career in product-led software companies, Paciano has led cross-functional teams through complex growth challenges. Her approach emphasizes strong product fundamentals, clear positioning, and close collaboration — principles she will continue to apply in her expanded role at TestFit.
In 2024, Paciano was recognized by The Software Report as one of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Software, highlighting her leadership and influence within the technology industry.
“TestFit is at a pivotal moment, with growing demand for tools that help teams balance cost, constructability, and design to help achieve investment goals,” said Paciano. “I’m grateful for the trust the founders and leadership team have placed in me, and I’m excited to help scale the company in a way that stays true to our product, our customers, and our culture.”
As Chief Growth Officer, Paciano will focus on strengthening go-to-market execution while deepening customer relationships and supporting continued product innovation as TestFit expands globally.
