Eric Quanstrom

I currently serve as VP of GTM Engineering and unicorn software company Apollo.io, focused on leveraging cutting-edge GTM strategies to redefine lead generation and enhance client engagement. My work has centered on utilizing advanced AI techniques, including Power-up Prompts and Agentic Workflows, and collaborating with teams to implement Managed Configuration solutions on the Apollo Platform.  

My expertise spans strategic marketing management (4X CMO) and leadership positions at fast-growth organizations (incl 3 successful Exits). As a certified AI Champion and a dedicated advisor at BrightLoop, I am committed to exploring new frontiers in technology to empower businesses and build impactful solutions.
