Background

About Jeff Summers

Jeff Summers is a senior executive that has consistently driven aggressive change in several C-Level leadership roles – from Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, to Chief Innovation Officer, to Chief Operating Officer, and ultimately, to Chief Executive Officer and Founder. Since 1987, his leadership competencies have evolved working at a combination of large ($90B), medium ($1B), and small ($5M -$100M) technology companies. He has built teams, restructured organizations, and driven new go-to-market strategies within the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), On Demand, and Cloud Computing marketplaces. He has also served as a thought leader in multiple industries, creating differentiated intellectual property and in one case, an entirely new market segment. From 2017 through 2021, Summers served as the Chief Revenue Officer for CyberGrants, leading sales, marketing, and customer success. CyberGrants, a leading SaaS platform for corporate granting, employee giving, and volunteerism programs, globally enabled over $6B in corporate giving to more than nonprofits each year. During his tenure, CyberGrants’ annual revenues grew 120% with 96% customer retention and 114% net retention. In 2021, the company drove a very successful exit with Apax Partners.
