Josh Gillespie

Josh Gillespie

Chief Executive Consigliere

18 years in enterprise B2B sales. Spent a decade at PandaDoc as the top individual revenue producer, helping scale the company from $0 to $92M ARR. Over $25M in lifetime ARR closed personally, with an additional $5M as Director of Enterprise Sales.

Based in San Francisco, Josh advises early-stage startup founders on go-to-market strategy, AI-native sales infrastructure, and go-to-network execution—partnering with them from first customer to first million in ARR.

His practice operates at the intersection of high-touch selling and AI-augmented GTM—helping founders codify their competitive advantage into systems that scale without premature headcount.
