Jeff Gray COO and Operating Partner to Founders

As a consultant, I led finance at c1.ai through diligence and its agreement to be acquired by Workday, and rebuilt its FP&A and commissions processes as software along the way. I've also been the fractional finance leader for three other startups in the past year and rebuilt pricing for multi-year, complex clinical studies at Picnic.ai, where my custom app now runs with no engineering support.

Before that, I was Chief Operating Officer at Honeycomb, growing the company from under $5m to well over $50m ARR and raising ~$100m.

I ran business operations and day-to-day execution at a data science startup and an infrastructure startup for two years each. Each time, I partnered with the CEO on managing the board and raising growth VC rounds, leading one to the doorstep of its successful acquisition.

I spent the first 16 years of my career at ThoughtWorks, the global software consultancy. I started as a novice developer, ran software development teams all over the world, and led a 600-employee, $200m P&L, the company's largest, by the time I left. ThoughtWorks was where I grew up as a professional. While it feels so long ago, it's where I learned how fast feedback loops are the most important thing in technology projects, where I learned how to treat people and build inclusive teams, and where I learned from the best managers and mentors I'll ever have. I try to live up to their examples every day.
