Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Mcfarland is a revenue-focused technology executive and Managing Partner who helps organizations transform enterprise selling, create demand, and build recurring, healthy revenue streams. With a background that blends engineering, presales, and product lifecycle experience, he advises companies on value-based enterprise selling, SaaS go-to-market strategies, and supply chain intelligence. He has led strategic accounts and regional sales teams across high-tech, analytics, and supply-chain platforms at firms like Supplyframe, MicroStrategy, and ForgeRock, driving measurable growth and large customer relationships. Ken pairs technical fluency in AI/ML, prescriptive analytics, and cloud with a pragmatic bent for business process simplification and compliance. Based in Austin and a UT Austin McCombs alum, he brings both hands-on software experience from early-career technical roles and a track record of scaling sales organizations and M&A outcomes. A less obvious strength is his ability to bridge multi-party platform economics with field-level selling tactics, turning complex technical signals into repeatable revenue plays.
