Our Purpose

To be living proof you can win in business while being human first.

Our Purpose nests well in the overall Purpose of the Customer Success Movement—the Movement that we serve at Gainsight. Customer Success is fundamentally about realizing that your customer is not a transaction or a deal or an opportunity or a lead. Your customer is a bunch of human beings just like you. And just like you, they want to succeed with what they do.

In a way, Customer Success, and Gainsight, are about bringing humanity back into this technology-driven world.

Gainsight Recognized in The 2020 Forbes Cloud 100 List for Fifth Consecutive Year

SAN FRANCISCO (September 16, 2020) – Gainsight has been named to the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. “While new customer growth has traditionally been the focal point for many organizations, the pandemic shifted businesses’ focus to existing customers. 2020 has proven that customer success is existential and imperative to a company’s near-term and long-term profitability,” said Nick Mehta, Gainsight CEO. “This award is a recognition of the collective efforts by the customer success community and the Gainsight team in making customer-centricity the best path toward driving sustainable business growth.” As part of the rigorous selection process for the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100, Bessemer Venture Partners received submissions from hundreds of cloud startups. The Cloud 100 Judging Panel, made up of public cloud company CEOs, reviewed the data to select, score, and rank the top 100 private cloud companies from all over the world. The evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). “The private cloud ecosystem continues to mature in light of […]

    Remote Opportunities

If you're like us, the businesses you return to over and over do two things every time:

That's how our economy was built. Your local store owner helped you find exactly what you needed. Your travel agent knew the perfect trip for you. And once upon a time, your blacksmith knew how to fit your horse’s foot just right. And all with a heavy portion of innovation and creativity.

But with the pace of change that digital technology has brought to these ancient relationships, we've lost something. We've added more and more layers of separation between businesses and consumers—automated checkouts, self-serve websites, one-to-many communication, and now we even have chatbots. How do we maintain and advance the convenience and scalability that technology delivers while building back up those deep, long-lasting relationships between buyer and seller?

Gainsight exists to help businesses secure and surpass their customers' desired outcomes and deliver consistently amazing experiences. We do that by orchestrating all of companies' customer-facing teams and data together into simple, actionable dashboards and playbooks. Our powerful software platform and evidence-based best practices give you the power to gain insight from customer data so you can take the right actions at the right time to maximize your customer relationships.

Nick Mehta (he/him)

Can you combine a passion for family, football, philosophy, physics, fashion and feminism with an obsession with SaaS customer success? Probably not, but Nick Mehta has made it his life’s mission to try.

Nick is CEO of Gainsight, the Customer Success company that helps businesses improve customer retention, accelerate expansion and capitalize on customer advocacy. He works with a team of nearly 700 (affectionately nicknamed) “Gainsters.” Together, they've created the customer success category that's currently taking over the SaaS business model worldwide. Under Nick's leadership, Gainsight has built an award-winning company culture that is frequently recognized in numerous lists as a “Great Place to Work,” including Inc., Fortune, Glassdoor, Silicon Valley Business Journal, and more.

At the beginning of his career, Nick and some college classmates started online golf retailer Chipshot.com during the “dotcom” era. After that, Nick joined VERITAS Software as a Product Manager and over time became a VP and GM of a division of the company, which then became part of Symantec. Nick’s first CEO role was running the Summit-backed SaaS company, LiveOffice, which grew substantially and eventually sold to Symantec.

Nick has been named one of the Top SaaS CEOs by the Software report three years in a row, one of the Top CEOs of 2018 by Comparably, was a finalist for EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year, and holds one of highest Glassdoor approval ratings for CEOs. On top of all that, he was recently rated the #1 CEO in the world (the award committee was just his mom, but the details are irrelevant).

Nick is the co-author of “Customer Success: How Innovative Companies Are Reducing Churn and Growing Recurring Revenue,” the authoritative book on the field. He’s also an avid reader and is always excited to geek out about the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, the hard problem of consciousness and whether time really exists.

Jeff Depa

Jeff Depa is Chief Revenue Officer at Gainsight where he leads the company's day to day field operations driving outcomes for Gainsight customers. Jeff has more than two decades of leadership experience across sales, marketing, consulting, and systems engineering at companies including Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Datastax, where he he built, scaled and lead customer-focused, high performance enterprise teams that drove profitable hyper-growth across SaaS and software businesses. Prior to Gainsight, Jeff was the CRO at Lucidworks. Jeff earned a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and also holds a Masters in Management. Outside of his passion for driving outcomes in his clients' businesses, Jeff is an avid pilot, do-it-yourselfer and enjoys spending time with his family and on his tractor in Austin, TX.

Karl Rumelhart

Karl will lead Gainsight’s expanded product vision and execution for a comprehensive Customer Success platform that help customers take action. Karl has held senior product and marketing roles as an early employee at VMware, leading product management for VirtualCenter, driving the acquisition of SpringSource, and leading the vFabric business unit. Karl has also run product teams at enterprise social pioneer, Jive, and predictive analytics pioneer Infer. Prior to his software career, Karl was an academic mathematician, lecturing at Stanford University after receiving a Ph.D. from Harvard University.

Snickerdoodle

Snickerdoodle is Gainsight’s Chief Snuggles Officer. Both hypoallergenic and hyperaware of employees needs, Snickerdoodle is an enormous driver of culture within the organization. While his age may make him young enough to be an intern, he has dog years of experience in cross-functional barking, advanced persuasion tactics (a.k.a. begging), and the 80-minute naptime.

His favorite book is Rich Dog, Poor Dog and his go-to karaoke song is, well, everyone’s—he just loves to bark sing along.

Dan is Gainsight's Chief Customer Officer and, in that role, has ultimate responsibility for Gainsight's customer's satisfaction and success.
