He will lead all levels of the corporate sales organization, including pre-sales, direct sales and operations.
“As Paxata embarks on the next phase of our journey, it is critical that we have the right leadership to scale our low friction, high velocity business,” said Prakash Nanduri, co-founder and CEO of Paxata. “That requires a deep understanding of the space we play in, a strong leader who has experience building world class organizations and a person who shares our core values. David is that leader and we are delighted he has joined us in this exciting Paxata journey.”
Salinger has built four inside and hybrid sales organizations, ranging in size from ten to over 150 people. He has deep expertise helping technology companies achieve record-breaking growth through high velocity sales and operations across SaaS and on-premise software models.
