Run by operators, not account managers.
The senior people you meet in the pitch are the senior people who run the work. Nine operators, partner-led, all of them accountable to the same number you are.
Sarah and Taylor.
Two operators who couldn't find what they wanted, so they built it. Both have been on every Gild engagement since 2014.
Sarah Kronemeyer
Co-Founder · Performance & Strategy
Sarah leads strategy and performance marketing across the Gild roster. Before founding Gild in 2014, she ran ecommerce inside brands across beauty and home — the seat that taught her what mid-market founders actually need (and what they're sold instead).
Taylor Rains
Co-Founder · Storefront & Retention
Taylor leads storefront operations and retention across the Gild roster. He came up running Shopify-native ecom for DTC brands and learned the hard way that the best retention strategy starts with a storefront that actually merchandises.
