About Ted Maynard

I’m a growth and operations leader who focuses on building scalable systems at the intersection of product, data, and execution to drive revenue.I am currently a Senior Growth Lead at Shiftsmart, where I design and operate supply-side growth systems supporting enterprise businesses. My work spans growth strategy, marketplace health frameworks, experimentation, and cross-functional execution - translating complex data into clear priorities and durable operating models.Previously, I co-founded Foray Events, where I built and scaled a private events marketplace end-to-end. I owned product development, GTM strategy, and operations, partnering directly with customers and vendors while designing systems that balanced quality, efficiency, and growth.Earlier, I worked on NBA League Pass, driving data-informed initiatives to improve engagement and retention for a global DTC product, and at Wunderkind, supporting enterprise clients on performance-driven growth programs.Across roles, I’m drawn to problems that require- Structured thinking in ambiguous environments- Strong product intuition grounded in data- Scalable growth and operating systems over one-off executionI’m especially interested in growth, product, and operations roles where building leverage through automation, metrics, and thoughtful product design is core to the company’s success.
