Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Merrihew is a product and technology executive with 15+ years of hands-on experience founding and scaling SaaS platforms, most notably as Co-Founder & CTO of Gather where he grew engineering and product to support $10M ARR and 110 employees prior to a strategic merger. He excels at leading engineering organizations through rapid growth, post-merger integrations, and operational transformation, having driven integrations and P&L oversight for multiple acquisitions at Tripleseat.

He now runs Ampeer, offering selective executive advisory and fractional leadership to founder-led, growth-stage, and PE-backed companies. Notably, he has a track record of stepping into high-stakes transitions—whether board-selected leadership after a merger or managing a grassroots political campaign to an upset win—demonstrating both technical credibility and operational grit.
