Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDoug Lee is a commercial operating advisor specializing in turning PE-backed software companies into predictable, high-value businesses through disciplined go-to-market systems and revenue inspection. With nearly three decades of sales and commercial leadership experience and nine years focused on senior operating roles, he has repeatedly scaled ARR, improved retention, and prepared companies for successful exits. Doug pairs hands-on GTM engineering—SDR engines, pipeline integrity, forecast accuracy—with board-level strategic counsel and M&A diligence, having driven multi-million-dollar revenue and EBITDA gains across multiple portfolio exits. He brings rare operator credibility from four CRO roles and earlier channel and enterprise sales leadership, combining process rigor with practical change management to drive adoption. Notably, he also has a technical, product-minded streak—contributing to open-source projects like Form.io and inventing the original AdShield—giving him an uncommon ability to bridge engineering, product, and commercial teams. Based in Draper, Utah, Doug is known for an iterative "install, inspect, identify constraint, iterate" approach that consistently uncovers the next lever for growth.
