I’m certain I’m not the only person wondering – why is the philosophical West on the right side and not the left? I’d also be tempted to throw XQuery/XSL-FO onto the East and XSLT onto the West. MLS versus RETS is also a telling example.
Great observation on the left/right thing and can’t believe I missed it. I think I knew I was talking to a East Coat audience, so I put them in the right column. Anyways, I’ll revised in future editions, unless I’m speaking in the Southern hemisphere.
I’m not sure XQuery is coastal, so to speak, though I do know plenty of users of both it and FO on the East Coast. But I also know lots of folks using XSLT, basically everywhere.
I assume MLS = multiple listing service (and not MarkLogic Server) and thus RETS = real-estate XML, in which I’d say you’re probably bang-on, though we don’t do much work with RETS directly.
I’m Dave Kellogg, advisor, director, consultant, angel investor, and blogger focused on enterprise software startups. I am an executive-in-residence (EIR) at Balderton Capital and principal of my own eponymous consulting business.
I bring an uncommon 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, Pigment, Recorded Future, and Tableau.
I currently serve on the boards of Scoro (work management) and SMA Technologies (workload automation).
I previously served on the boards of Alation (data intelligence), Aster Data (big data), Granular (agtech), Nuxeo (content services), and Profisee (MDM).
I periodically speak to strategy and entrepreneurship classes at the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley) and Hautes Études Commerciales de Paris (HEC).

Piers,
Great observation on the left/right thing and can’t believe I missed it. I think I knew I was talking to a East Coat audience, so I put them in the right column. Anyways, I’ll revised in future editions, unless I’m speaking in the Southern hemisphere.
I’m not sure XQuery is coastal, so to speak, though I do know plenty of users of both it and FO on the East Coast. But I also know lots of folks using XSLT, basically everywhere.

Best,
Dave
