> CEO of Crunchbase

Crunchbase’s first CEO. I spun the company out, raised $100 million, and scaled usage and revenue to the global brand it is today. We did it with a product‑led, B2C  and enterprise motion and enough PLG experiments to fill a playbook.

Before Crunchbase, I spent 11 years at Salesforce. I helped launch AppExchange and Service Cloud, ran the core Sales Cloud (SFA) product line, and lived every phase of hyper‑growth - from scrappy demos in prospect boardrooms to managing a $B‑scale roadmap.

25 years in, I still love the zero‑to‑one grind. I back founders as an angel, advise accelerators, and jump on calls when the stakes are high: closing your seed round, unlocking your first 10k users, or figuring out why growth stalled at $5 M ARR.

What you get on a call: fast diagnosis, concrete next steps, investor‑ready metrics, and your questions answered. Topics on the table—fundraising, PLG loops, AI product bets, org design, board management, exits, and any gnarly “what now?” moment a CEO can face. Let’s move your company forward.
