About David Quinn

Revenue Operations leader with 20+ years scaling B2B SaaS commercial engines — from Oracle and Salesforce to hands-on RevOps and BI leadership at high-growth companies.

I'm a Revenue Operations executive with over twenty years' experience helping global B2B SaaS organisations scale through data-driven decision making, operational rigour and commercial transformation.

My career spans Enterprise Sales, Renewals and Revenue Operations leadership with Oracle, Salesforce and high-growth SaaS companies, giving me a rare combination of commercial experience and hands-on operational expertise. Having worked inside both enterprise software leaders and scale-ups, I know which operational disciplines genuinely enable growth and which simply create unnecessary complexity.

I build strong partnerships with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance and Product to create a commercial operating model that aligns teams around trusted data, consistent metrics and clear accountability. My particular interest is simplifying complex commercial challenges through intelligent process design, automation and the practical application of AI — the ARR Projection Tool on this site is one example, an AI-assisted scenario-modelling app I designed and built myself.
