Summary
Tom Henn is an entrepreneurial C-suite executive and three-time author with over two decades of experience founding, scaling, and exiting technology companies. He has a proven track record driving strategic growth—from launching Java-based database solutions that sold to Informix and taking companies from restart to IPO, to building global sales teams and growing revenue from zero to $40M. Tom blends product vision, go-to-market execution, and investor-facing leadership, frequently brought in by founders, private equity and boards to steer turnarounds, carve-outs, and market launches. He founded consumer-facing MomsTribute after a decade of oral-history work, turning personal storytelling into a community-driven marketplace for kid-friendly venues. Equally comfortable negotiating strategic partnerships with enterprise names like Sun, Cisco and Bank of America, he pairs deal-making savvy with hands-on operational execution. Based in Pleasanton, CA with a BS in Finance, he combines literary sensibility and deep commercial instincts—an uncommon mix that informs both product empathy and aggressive business outcomes.
