Mehta has been leading Gainsight since February 2013 and the company has raised over $152M of funding to accelerate the growth of the Customer Success industry.

“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by The SaaS Report, let alone on a list with business luminaries such as Aaron Levie, Julia Hartz and Marc Benioff,” said Nick Mehta, Chief Executive Officer at Gainsight. “More than anything else, this recognition validates the importance of Customer Success as a critical business driver in the outcome economy for companies of all sizes and industries.”
