Chris Golec founded and has led Demandbase since its inception. He brings more than 20 years experience and a successful entrepreneurial track record to the company.
Chris started his first business, Supplybase, in the mid 90’s to help large enterprises overcome the challenges purchasing and engineering groups face in managing their global supplier base. After building significant momentum in the marketplace, Supplybase was acquired by i2 Technologies (ITWO) in 2000 for $380 million.
After leaving i2, Chris started a consulting practice to help companies build and manage world-class demand generation operations. The successful consulting practice became Demandbase, Inc. with the vision of transforming the way B2B companies identify, reach, and convert new customers.
Prior to becoming a software entrepreneur, Chris spent 10 years with GE and DuPont in global marketing, sales and engineering roles. He earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University and an MBA from Boston University.
