Leadership Team

Brian Garrigan

Founder & Principal

I’m a results-driven senior executive and operator with a proven track record of scaling revenue and building high-performing sales organizations across the adtech landscape. For over 25+ years, I’ve led enterprise, mid-market, and channel teams, consistently driving year-over-year growth while working with leading brands and agencies nationwide.

I’ve helped scale companies from $5M to more than $400M in ARR, contributing to businesses that have achieved $1.5B+ exits. I’ve also been directly involved in three company exits and four M&A transactions, giving me experience across sales leadership, go-to-market strategy, business growth, and M&A.

From crafting multimillion-dollar CTV strategies to launching scalable partner growth initiatives and opening new verticals during economic headwinds, I bring a strategic yet hands-on approach to growth. I build high-performing teams, streamline sales operations, and partner closely across product, CS, and marketing to ensure everything we do maps to measurable business impact.
