Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Roe is an Operating Partner and seasoned executive with 20+ years of C-suite and board experience driving growth, operational transformations, and M&A across software businesses.

Equally comfortable in private equity-backed turnaround and SaaS growth environments, he has led go-to-market, global engineering consolidations, and repeatable PLG/inside-sales motions that drive predictable revenue. Based in Boston, he now advises and chairs multiple software companies, blending hands-on operator instincts with board-level stewardship. A pragmatic strategist who obsessively optimizes predictability and scale, he pairs deal-making experience with deep revenue operations expertise.
