Product Driven Growth has become buzzwordy recently, but the core of it, a Culture centered on Product, can be the primary driver around high-growth businesses.  That’s precisely what Mr. Scott Kim, CEO at RocketReach has been focused on in his journey to help businesses change their growth trajectory.  Being a data-driven enterprise, RocketReach focuses on quality, ease of use, and breadth everyday.

Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Scott was fortunate to get extensive exposure to vast business processes and workings from an early age. While lending a helping hand in their family retail store, Kim gradually polished his business acumen and developed the ability to understand customer needs. Initially opting for the medical domain while commencing college, Scott recognized his significant inclination towards the technology field. It was this shift of choice in his primary subject that led him to pursue the vision that eventually led him to join and lead RocketReach.

Scott has been led by the decisive factor of product quality and swears by it completely. Being a firm believer in this product-focused approach, he aspires to perfectly blend core business essentials with advancements in technology to create reliable, user-friendly products.
