The OverQuota Executive Team John Young Chief Executive Officer John has worked in the high tech industry in both sales and marketing capacities. His career reflects 25+ years of accomplishments in direct sales, channel sales, and marketing. He has sold everything from Xerox copiers to mainframes to enterprise software solutions to all sizes of companies. He has worked for companies such as Xerox, Unisys and Lotus, as well as several startups. He understands the challenges that small companies face and that a wellorchestrated marketing effort would have easily cut those sales cycles in half due to on-going education, branding and awareness. I founded OverQuota based on his experience that small to medium-size businesses do not have the capacity or funds to build a marketing team to be able to compete with much larger, more established companies who have marketing teams that possess all of the necessary skill sets to pull off effective revenue generation. Our service allows companies to take advantage of the necessary skill sets of a multi-person marketing team for less than the cost of a single marketer. My passion is helping smaller companies look and act as much larger ones and help them grow their business well beyond their aspirations. Todd Davison Virtual CMO For the last 20 years, Todd has been a successful entrepreneur, thought leader, and visionary in B2B Demand Generation Marketing. I started Demand Frontier with a mission to help senior leadership understand and harness the power of an effective demand generation engine. With all that is happening in digital marketing, I think it can be difficult for senior leadership to translate marketing investment into quantifiable return. I believe that effective demand generation can be a powerful catalyst for growth resulting in market leadership, attracting new customers, and providing valuable insights into what is happening in your marketplace. Before launching Demand Frontier, Todd was the co-founder and President of Bulldog Solutions, the Global Leader in Revenue Performance Management. He has been an innovator on the front lines of lead generation, virtual events, lead scoring, nurturing strategies, social media, marketing automation, content marketing, and revenue performance management for many of the top brands in B2B Enterprise. Heather Davison Chief Strategy Officer Heather enjoys helping B2B/B2C Marketing organizations transform themselves into Modern Marketers. Having spent the last decade on the front lines working with some of the best brands in the world, Heather brings a wealth of experience to our practice and the ability to create client success through a consultative approach focused on customer value. Heather helped start Bulldog Solutions serving as their Vice President of Strategic Accounts, where she was a significant contributor to their rapid growth and global position leveraging strategic relationships, services evolution, customer success and revenue generation.
