ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Campbell, Founder & CEO of Tropic
10 years ago, if you told David that he’d become a startup CEO, he wouldn’t have believed you. He has a degree in English Literature, and wrote a 400-page novel and never published it. He’s even been accused of being an "alt CEO."
These days, all of that feels like an advantage as his team at Tropic builds the future of software procurement.
Long before Tropic became real, he and his co-founder, Justin, discovered something the hard way: The whole world runs on software, yet everyone struggles to buy it. So they set out to fix that.
Today, companies of all sizes—from startups to Fortune 500s—use Tropic to buy software, manage contracts, monitor usage and turn procurement into a competitive advantage.
