Dave Prager — VP of Engineering
I'm a hands-on marketing leader who helps B2B SaaS and AI companies realize ambitious visions for their brands and their businesses. Especially B2B SaaS companies with complex products, long sales cycles, and an ABM sales motion. Coming from the storytelling side of the business, I look at every customer interaction through a narrative lens. I've done this at startups (such as Drishti, where I led marketing to build an AI-powered brand and a category from pre-seed through Series B); at enterprises (such as SAP, where I was the marcomm director for SAP's first digital native, on-demand offerings); and at mid-size companies (such as Front, where I ran brand and product marketing and ensured both were in lockstep). I'm currently doing this at Stampli, where I'm VP of Marketing. My style: pass trust to my team, fail quickly so we can course correct, and always be wary of status quo bias. Across these companies and others, including my time on Madison Avenue, there have been a few common themes: • B2B software • Long sales cycles • Strong vertical plays • ABM sales motions • Deep partnership with the sales teams • Turning complex offerings into simple (but compelling!) stories • Reforming siloed marketing activities around a joint customer-first narrative • Integrated campaigns with great content at their hearts I drive the business as a strategic member of the leadership team, and help solve problems far beyond the traditional boundaries of marketing. Even as I roll up my sleeves and help the team wrestle down individual tactics or craft the perfect headline. Beyond the day-to-day, I've spoken to audiences large and small, on three continents and counting. And I even have a patent for my contribution to Drishti's AI. How many marketers can say that?
