With 16+ years of enterprise sales leadership, Jay Horne specializes in complex deals that appear insurmountable. At Uber, he closed $700M annual GMV across several national brands in active DoorDash exclusives through 12+ month multi-stakeholder negotiations. He also renegotiated a top partner over a 10-month period that drove 30% growth to $500M+ annual GMV with significantly improved margins. In a prior role, he grew a Fortune 100 MarTech account from $2M to $12M ARR while expanding margins from 40% to 60%, exceeding revenue and margin targets across all his accounts for 8 consecutive years.
Jay excels at forging C-suite relationships and navigating the procurement, legal, and business unit stakeholders typical of Fortune 500 deals. He develops innovative approaches that reframe partner decisions—turning "optional growth opportunities" into strategic imperatives aligned with client business priorities. He's passionate about mentoring high-performance teams and driving organizational sales impact.
His diverse background—from software developer to director of product management at a telecom provider—combined with his Rice University engineering and philosophy degrees, gives him unique technical credibility in complex enterprise conversations.
