    Achievements

    I am a seasoned Head of Product with over a decade's experience in both front and back office business software, launching and managing successful software products and consulting to leading Silicon Valley firms such as Salesforce.com, Apttus and Zuora.

    I like to build it, ship it, price it, package it, and make customers happy while solving their problems. Nothing makes me more satisfied than seeing a working product being used live. I have done everything from from ERP to CRM to Supply Chain and am always looking for a challenge and chance to execute.

    In addition to working in product development for many years, I co-founded the SaaS Syndicate (https://angel.co/the-saas-syndicate) on AngelList with Gil Penchina, a notable Valley angel and run my own syndicate, Swell Ventures.

    Nathan currently works at Verse.io as Head of Product.
