I’m at the Mark Logic Digital Publishing Summit at The Plaza Hotel in New York. While I’m not sure what the “official” means will be for sharing presentation slides, based on a few requests at lunch I’ve uploaded my slides and David Worlock’s slides to SlideShare and embedded them here.
Great event, over 550 registered, almost ran out of chairs at lunch. Thanks to everyone for coming!

David’s slides:
I’m Dave Kellogg, advisor, director, consultant, angel investor, and blogger focused on enterprise software startups.
I bring a unique perspective to startup challenges having 10 years’ experience at each of the CEO, CMO, and independent director levels across 10+ companies ranging in size from zero to over $1B in revenues.
From 2012 to 2018, I was CEO of cloud EPM vendor Host Analytics, where we quintupled ARR while halving customer acquisition costs in a competitive market, ultimately selling the company in a private equity transaction.
Previously, I was SVP/GM of the $500M Service Cloud business at Salesforce; CEO of NoSQL database provider MarkLogic, which we grew from zero to $80M over 6 years; and CMO at Business Objects for nearly a decade as we grew from $30M to over $1B in revenues. 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 Bluecore, Cyral, FloQast, GainSight, MongoDB, Recorded Future, and Tableau.
I currently sit on the boards of Alation (data intelligence), Profisee (master data management), Scoro (work management), and SMA Technologies (workload automation).
I previously sat on the boards of Granular (agtech, acquired by DuPont for $300M), Aster Data (big data, acquired by Teradata for $325M), and Nuxeo (content services, acquired by Hyland / Thoma Bravo).
I periodically speak to strategy and entrepreneurship classes at the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley) and Hautes Études Commerciales de Paris (HEC).

I hope you will have a good navigation during this summit. In others words: good eXtended Path to the success.
Thanks Dominique.
Thank you Dave for the conference and the mixers. Too bad that you had to squeeze in so much info in such a short period of time, and… leave out the "monetization " part of your presentation. Maybe you could return to the subject in a blog entry. Given the (controversial, IMHO) ideas presented by Gordon Crovitz, it seems that the subject of how to sell content online, especially within the context of social networks, is most important, and even expert-publishers can get it all wrong.
Thanks Greg. I agree I did more on the "building blocks" than on the monetization. I'll add a post on that topic to my to-do list.Cheers/Dave
