Anne Prins

Head of Platform Expansion, Klaviyo

In 2012, I helped to start a Saas company called 10,000ft. We made software for Resource Management and worked with customers who had challenges staffing people across multiple projects (agencies, pro-serve, corporate shared services). Early days, I did all the jobs that were not writing code. We grew to about 40 people and I ran our Growth team which was made up of Marketing, Sales, Implementation, Account Management and Support. Much of my work was about connecting the dots between product & sales and testing channels & strategies for growth.

In 2019, 10,000ft was acquired by Smartsheet. I had a couple different roles at Smartsheet; first running all post-acquisition GTM operations, then Sales Engineering for North America. I had a team of 60 SEs and was focused on building systems to help us scale.

I joined Boston-based e-commerce startup, Klaviyo, in Summer of 2022. My role at Klaviyo is focused on strategy and execution of initiatives to help diversify the business.

I am a builder. I do my best work in gnarly, cross-functional projects. I have the grit and the mindset of an entrepreneur, but also the context of scale post IPO.
