Ryan DeForest

About

I build revenue operations systems for early stage startups that are either creating net new categories or driving their leadership even further. 💡 What I do best: → Design RevOps infrastructure that shortens lead response times and increases conversion rates → Automate lead routing, qualification, and scheduling to remove bottlenecks → Align GTM teams around data-driven workflows that generate pipeline and revenue TLDR Background: → #11 at Gong ($7b+ valuation) → #5 at Mobly (fastest growing startup in Utah) → #30 at RelateIQ (acq by Salesforce for $300m+) Being thrown into fires that no one else knows how to solve is my specialty.
