Top SchoolRyan Scott is an operating partner and growth-focused marketing executive with over two decades of experience scaling consumer platforms and marketplaces, most recently growing Etsy’s gross sales from $3B to $14B as Global CMO. He has led high-growth exits and IPOs—helping Seamless/Grubhub expand from $100M to $6B and steering Pond5 through acquisition—bringing operator-level P&L and product-marketing rigor to portfolio companies. At Khosla Ventures he advises frontier software and AI-backed businesses (including OpenAI, Replit, Vercel, and ClickHouse), translating platform relationships and analytical insight into go-to-market and capital deployment strategies. A recognized industry voice (Forbes CMO 50, AdAge Marketer of the Year, multiple Webby and search awards), Ryan combines data-driven performance marketing with brand and international expansion expertise. He’s advised Google and Meta councils and sits on several boards, a sign of his ability to bridge startups, platforms, and enterprise partners. Not obvious from titles: he pairs deep consumer marketing instincts with technical fluency to help product and engineering teams prioritize growth levers that move both engagement and revenue.
