Justin

COO for Zero to One technology companies

About Me

Justin Saye is a seasoned technology operator, board member, and advisor who partners with founders to build scalable operating systems, professionalize governance, and prepare companies for growth, capital events, or exit. With over 20 years of experience across SaaS, data platforms, AdTech, mobility, and climate-aligned technologies, Justin specializes in stepping into complex environments where structure, execution, and leadership alignment are required. Justin currently serves as Chief Operating Officer and Board Member of Dealer Alchemist, a vertical SaaS and AdTech platform, where he was recruited to stabilize operations and prepare the business for its next phase of growth. Within six months, he led the company from a significant monthly loss to profitability, rebuilt core operating functions, established formal board governance and reporting, restructured accounting and debt facilities, and improved net margins through disciplined execution. He is also Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Sea Change Advisors, President of 100M Holdings, and a Venture Partner at NextGen Venture Partners, supporting founders across early and growth stages with go-to-market strategy, executive hiring, capital planning, and operational design. Previously, Justin served as CEO and Board Director of Origin Utility, where he helped transform a founder-led company into a scalable global SaaS platform—centralizing international operations, launching new recurring-revenue products, and driving significant ARR growth while maintaining profitability. Earlier in his career, he was VP of Global Operations at The Trade Desk, where he helped scale the business ahead of IPO, building global teams, improving retention, and supporting hundreds of millions in pipeline growth. Justin works best with founders navigating scale, transition, or inflection points—bringing clarity, structure, and execution discipline while respecting founder vision and culture.
