Summary
I scale software companies. I have helped lead software companies to billion dollar exits 4 times: Duo Security, Zendesk, MySQL, Active Software --generating more than $20 billion in shareholder returns. I have been an advisor and board member to high-growth venture-backed software companies including Cockroach Labs, Contentful, DataStax, GitLab, HackerOne, HubSpot, PagerDuty, Pentaho, PubNub, PuppetLabs, Real Green Systems, Recharge, Sisense and Sqreen. I have built teams that have delivered award-winning products generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue by disrupting incumbents with a high-volume, high-velocity products. I have led Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Business Development, Support and Services. I have worked with many of the top VCs including Benchmark Capital, CRV, Index Ventures, Kleiner-Perkins, Matrix Partners, PointNine Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Scale Ventures. It's hard to build a business. I try to be generous of my time to founders and help them grow their companies with the guidance of an experienced hand who has done the journey many times.
