Phil Gray

I've spent nearly two decades leading operations across SaaS, media, and logistics. As COO at Black & White Zebra, I scaled the company to $20M+ revenue and built Finance and GTM operations from scratch. At Thinkific, I led Revenue Operations and guided the company's 2021 public debut. At Procurify, I doubled ACV and helped close a $20M Series B. I hold an MBA from UBC and a BA from the University of Victoria.
