About David Wadler
Technology executive and serial entrepreneur with 20+ years building enterprise SaaS companies from zero to successful exits.Track Record:• Built and scaled two companies to successful exits, including Twistage (acquired by Lexmark) and Vendorful• Raised $7M+ across multiple ventures while leading teams from 3 to 35 people• Personally closed 100% of early enterprise deals, winning contracts with marquee clients including Brown University, QVC, HSN, T-Mobile, and The Gap• Led product development of comprehensive enterprise platforms serving millions of usersCurrent Role:Acting CTO at fintech startup Tern, where I combine business leadership with technical oversight—driving platform architecture decisions while ensuring PCI compliance and business objectives align.What I Bring:The rare ability to bridge technical and business domains. I\'ve been in the trenches as both founder and operator, understanding what it takes to build products customers actually buy, scale operations profitably, and navigate the complexities of enterprise sales cycles.Seeking: VP/C-suite roles in Product, Operations, or GTM at growth-stage SaaS companies where remote/hybrid work is supported.My Journey:Success didn’t come easy to me, however. I spent most of my 20s bouncing around different jobs in completely different fields. I’ve been a software engineer, headhunter, writer, and even a personal trainer.(Oh, to have abs again….) When I was 29 years old, I was fetching coffee for people and picking up their dry cleaning. And yes, it sucked. But if you haven’t “figured it out” yet, I am living proof that not everyone takes a linear path. So hang in there!
