  • Prismatic
    CEO & Co-founder
    Prismatic
    Apr 2019 - Current (7 years 6 months)
    I cofounded Prismatic to make software integration easier for B2B businesses and allow them to focus on their core product instead of how it connects to their customers’ applications. This was a problem we frequently dealt with at Zuercher Technologies, which I founded and scaled earlier in my career. With each new customer, we had to customize an integration solution.

I started the business from nothing, with no investors, and grew the business into an industry disruptor with a national customer base, $10M in revenue, and 80 employees. In 2015, I sold the company to TriTech Software Systems, a portfolio company of Insight Venture Partners.
