Alan Keller is the Vice President of Sales and GTM at Zuma in Santa Monica, California.
Previously he worked as the Vice President of Revenue at TrustLab,
the Vice President of Sales for Athenian,
and the Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Enterprise Sales Officer at Duda.
I have spent more than two decades leading commercial organizations and helping technology companies grow, specializing in the journey from recently established product-market fit to global scale. I have worked with early-stage, venture capital and growth-equity backed, and publicly listed organizations to help them scale at pace across multiple geographies.
This experience has given me a unique insight into the qualities that enable businesses and their teams to create and take advantage of opportunities.
As an experienced commercial leader I enjoy most:
π€ Working alongside Product and R&D colleagues to help ensure product-market fit based on real prospect & customer feedback from our core ICPs.
π Collaborating with the Marketing and Strategy teams to refine our strategic narrative to the market and to create something truly beautiful.
π Joining forces with Finance to build revenue/expense forecasts and strategic plans to meet our objectives.
πͺ Hiring, training, and enabling a team of amazing sales, sales engineering, and account management folks to take the above and go out and execute at a world-class level.
π Thinking big...taking what weβre doing today and figuring out how to 10x it through strategies like the development of new ICPs, new product, international expansion, corporate development, etc.
As a human outside of work I enjoy most:
π Experiencing the world through the eyes of my two daughters and road tripping as a family in our VW Eurovan.
πΈ Playing and listening to great music with lifelong friends.
π Taking care of and restoring the land we live on in rural Northern California.
π¨βπ» Learning about new technology and how we can use it to better ourselves and society as a whole.
