Below please find the slides I used to kick-off the 2nd annual Mark Logic Digital Publishing Summit at the Westin Times Square today in New York City. Over 300 people registered for the event.
Thanks to everyone for attending and to our sponsors DPCI, Temis, and ArborSys for sponsoring.
I’m Dave Kellogg, technology executive, angel investor, independent director, adviser, and blogger. I bring what I think is a rare and balanced perspective to software company challeges — having 10+ years’ experience at each of the CMO, CEO, and board levels across across ten different enterprise software companies, ranging in size from $0M to over $1B in revenues.
From 2012 to 2018, I was CEO of cloud enterprise performance management vendor Host Analytics, where we quintupled ARR while halving customer acquisition costs in a highly competitive market, ultimately selling the company in a private equity transaction.
Previously, I was SVP/GM of Service Cloud at Salesforce and CEO at NoSQL database provider MarkLogic. Before that, I was CMO at Business Objects for nearly a decade as we grew from $30M to over $1B. I started my career in technical and product marketing positions at Ingres and Versant.
I love disruption, startups, and Silicon Valley and have had the pleasure of working in varied capacities with companies including ClearedIn, FloQast, GainSight, Lecida, MongoDB, Recorded Future, Tableau and TopOPPs. I currently sit on the boards of Alation (data catalogs) and Nuxeo (content management) and previously sat on the boards of agtech leader Granular (acquired by DuPont for $300M) and big data leader Aster Data (acquired by Teradata for $325M).
I periodically speak to strategy and entrepreneurship classes at the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley) and Hautes Études Commerciales de Paris (HEC).
Great opening talk. You may want to use the conference tag MLDPS08
