Daniel Cronyn

Growth + Marketing + Product + Strategy Leader

Analytical full stack Growth leader with 20 years experience building acquisition, lifecycle, product, and brand teams in Series A to Series D startups, and Private Equity portfolio companies.


I built and led Growth and Marketing teams across B2B SaaS, DTC/ecomm, and high volume B2C tech businesses, with exits at TripAdvisor, ProFlowers, RedEnvelope and littleBits (hardware), and collectively raised over $1 billion in venture funding.


I'm interested in helping build and operationalize data-driven strategies to grow bottom-line metrics. Open to fractional and interim Growth and Marketing leadership roles.
