Background

About David Cahn

I build companies. I fix companies. And sometimes I sell them. As a Chief Operating & Marketing Officer, I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and execution — helping organizations scale, transform, and grow in ways that stick. I've started, built, and sold three software companies of my own, and I've carried that founder's mindset into every C-suite role since. What I actually do: I step into organizations where the gap between vision and execution is costing them momentum. Whether it's a growth-stage company that needs a real go-to-market engine, a mid-market firm navigating a digital transformation, or a PE-backed business heading into M&A, I bring the operational and commercial horsepower to move things forward. My sweet spot is companies in B2B technology — across manufacturing, supply chain, healthcare, education, non-profits, retail, and more — that need a steady, experienced hand to lead revenue operations, align teams, and build for scale. Outcomes I'm known for: growing pipelines 4–5x, transitioning on-premise businesses to SaaS, directing product revenue to $400M, building ABM programs for 600-account portfolios, and taking companies through full M&A cycles — buy side, sell side, and integration. I'm an entrepreneur at heart who's equally comfortable in a Big 4 boardroom or a start-up war room. If your company needs a COO or CMO who can lead without a long runway, let's talk.
