About David Damato

I’ve spent the last 15 years helping organizations bring emerging technology to market — leading teams, scaling operations, and driving growth in environments where change happens fast. I’m energized by helping organizations scale through inflection points, where new technology meets real-world adoption.I’m especially motivated by opportunities where enterprise GTM leadership intersects with modern data infrastructure, analytics platforms, and AI-driven transformation.At Tesla and Lucid Motors, I led multi-site sales and operations teams, managed P&L performance, and helped scale markets during periods of rapid expansion. My focus has remained consistent: building high-performing teams, creating repeatable go-to-market systems, and translating complex innovation into tangible customer value.Alongside my leadership career, I founded Rare Index, a data intelligence platform bringing institutional-grade analytics to the collectibles market. Building Rare Index has strengthened my perspective on product strategy, data-driven decision making, and modern GTM execution — reinforcing that the strongest leaders combine operational discipline with a builder’s mindset.I’m currently exploring Director, Senior Manager, and VP-level opportunities where enterprise sales leadership, strategic partnerships, and emerging technology intersect.Core strengths:• Enterprise GTM strategy & revenue growth• Multi-site leadership & team development• Scaling new markets & operational excellence• Data-driven decision making & AI-enabled strategy• Building high-performance culturesOpen to relocation for the right opportunity.
