About
My name is JD DePace
As a seasoned product leader with a proven track record in SaaS, B2B, and enterprise environments, I specialize in transforming product visions into reality. Over the past two decades, I’ve led cross-functional teams to achieve extraordinary outcomes, including scaling organizations to $100M+ ARR, driving AI-powered innovation, and securing private equity funding with compelling product strategies.
My journey has taken me from 0-to-1 product development—where I’ve defined product-market fit and landed early customers—to managing large-scale post-merger integrations with 100% team retention. Along the way, I’ve built high-performing teams, designed customer-first strategies, and established market leadership in applied AI and other transformative technologies.
I believe the best products emerge from a deep understanding of customer needs, combined with bold, strategic decision-making. My leadership style is built on collaboration, empowerment, and a relentless focus on delivering value that drives business growth and customer impact.
Whether you're looking to scale your team, drive innovation, or navigate complex product challenges, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.
