Private Equity | SaaS | Founder | Sales | RevOps | Growth Marketing | Automation | Fundraising | Leadership | Executive Search | Hi! I'm Kris Curran and I'm passionate about using my creativity and resilience to acquire and help others grow their SaaS and Digital Agencies. Growing up, my mom beat cancer 9 times and was fully paralyzed from the neck down while living in a rehabilitation center for over one year. I helped raise my autistic younger brother while overcoming Tourette’s Syndrome, attending 3 different types of schools, hospital/rehab center visits, and working full time. Despite all this and having ADHD, I even graduated high school one semester early. I guess you could say that I’ve become an expert in overcoming impossible challenges and finding strength in the face of adversity. My entire life changed the day I found out my trumpet teacher of 5 years was also a Juilliard faculty member. When I asked to audition, he immediately let me know that I wasn’t good enough and would embarrass him, which led me to my “first sale”. I persuaded him to let me audition if I did whatever it took to be ready in one year. Later, I was 1 of 4 trumpeters to be accepted to Juilliard out of 2,000 and I was the only one to be accepted on their 1st attempt. My ability to do hard things and persevere against all odds while staying positive has taken me to amazing places — I'm now a Juilliard-trained trumpeter, an entrepreneur, and a sales and growth marketing expert. I'm passionate about using my unique gifts to lift up and empower others with win/win scenarios as I build out my SaaS and Digital Agency portfolio, and I'm grateful for all of the opportunities I've been given. My hope is that my story can be an inspiration to others to never give up and to pursue their dreams even when there doesn’t seem to be much hope. And for others interested in pursuing a new dream rather than running their SaaS or Digital Agency, I hope you will reach out to me so I can help make that transition easier for you! TLDR: I'm a driven and entrepreneurial CEO with strong sales, growth marketing automation, executive search, operations and leadership skills. I specialize in startup and scaled growth SaaS, and have strong experience in M&A, VC/private equity, healthcare analytics, and the quantitative high frequency trading space. I've delivered product market fit, turned around underperforming sales teams, and delivered multi million dollar growth.
