David Williams's Linkedin Analytics

I deliver outstanding software to SMBs and enterprises with innovative consumer-grade user experiences. My superpowers are developing product strategy and vision, motivating and aligning teams through storytelling, and holding them accountable for business outcomes rather than output. Across several roles in leading companies, I've specialized in scaling businesses through the craft of product where exceptional customer experiences were made possible by new technologies: mobile, cloud, and generative AI. > Founder & CEO @ Sticky Technologies (venture-backed startup) built an AI assistant to improve productivity across meetings and collaboration apps. > SVP Product & GM @ Zendesk (NYSE: ZEN) Contributed to $220M → $1B+ revenue growth by building an integrated multi-product portfolio and maturing the platform for enterprise. > SVP Product & Marketing @ VerticalResponse - Turned around product development, grew SMB SaaS business nearly doubling revenue to $40M.
