Travis is a Partner and Founder Experience at Redpoint Ventures. Prior to joining Redpoint, Travis was head of Customer Growth at Front, after spending 5 years building the global Sales organization at Optimizely, the world’s most popular experimentation platform. During his time at Optimizely, the company grew from $7 to >$90M in ARR, 40 to 400 colleagues, and from 1 to 6 offices. Travis spent his formative years at Salesforce from 2006-2012 in a number of sales roles including building the first Platform Sales team. His path to sales leadership was not an obvious one, having started as an Oracle DBA at Chevron before recognizing he was a mediocre developer and moving to more customer-facing roles.
Travis also runs Saleshuman Consulting Group, an organization focused on helping technology companies build the principles and frameworks that generate scalable growth and high-performance culture. He has invested personally in YipYap, Starcity, Kettle & Fire, and Cloz.io.
Travis lives in San Francisco with his wife, eagerly awaiting the hurricane of their first child arriving in the new year. He is super excited and kinda panicked.
Travis holds a BS degree in Information Systems from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo.
