Pat Sullivan

BIO

Before he was the Godfather of CRM, Pat Sullivan was a salesman. That may explain why after he became Co-Founder and CEO of ACT, over 6 million salespeople paid for it out of their own pockets. Following ACT's purchase by Symantec, he founded SalesLogix in 1995 and led its revenue growth to $108 million, successful IPO and repurchase of ACT. Heralded as one of the "80 Most Influential People in Sales and Marketing History", among Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Jack Welch and Bill Gates by Sales and Marketing Management, Pat Sullivan was also twice named Ernst & Young "Entrepreneur of the Year" for both ACT and SalesLogix. Pat has served as a board member for multiple tech companies, and is currently working on revolutionizing the way business makes contact with the launch of Contatta.
