Grant Peterson is a Chief Product Officer at Conga. He possess expertise in saas, product management, enterprise software, agile methodologies, cloud computing and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I knew Grant was different after his second week at DocuSign when, in a meeting, he laid out a strategic technology vision that went well beyond anything long-time DocuSigners could ever have imagined. I knew he was the real-deal when he delivered on it - over, and over again. DocuSign’s rise to the market leading e-signature technology company would not have happened without Grant Peterson. Grant is an outstanding CTO. He has a laser-sharp mind, the ability to recruit and motivate a world-class team, and a commitment to customer success that is truly unique for someone in his role. In a market that has developed as rapidly as ours has in the past 2 years you need a partner as a CTO that is customer focused, agile, and able to deliver. Grant is all of those things and more. His ability to take a key customer need (so my team can close a deal) and morph that into a generic capability set (so we can close hundreds of new deals) is amazing. Grants leadership as our CTO has resulting in hundreds of product enhancements while simultaneously improving our quality processes, implementing a world-class Disaster Recover and Business Continuity program, firing-up a second SAS-70 data center, and improving the capacity and scalability of our SaaS services. But don’t take it from me. Grant was voted MVP by the Sales Team in 2009 for his contribution to our success in 2008!" and "Grant impressed me by his “Seasoned Professional Development Leadership” that promotes full lifecycle responsibility to his internal and external resources. “Running the bases” as he puts it, is the requirement bar that all software he oversees being produced must pass in order to be released to the market. Great software can be created, but he is ever vigilant to impress on his peers, directs and partners that time and resources must be allocated in order that great software is appropriately tested, proven supportable and adequately documented. He has on many occasions reminded everyone that he would rather postpone or kill a project than release a product that is incomplete. Thus before a project is green lighted he pushes back when these are not a key consideration and allocated for in the project timeline. It has be an honor to work with him as an external part of his development team. I found my time working with him to an opportunity to enhance my personal appreciation for “running the bases” in my chosen craft of software development, which is focused on solution integrations with great SaaS products like DocuSign and Salesforce."
