Keith Krach Says Being a CEO now than in the 90s Isn’t that Different

At Vator Splash SF, DocuSign CEO Keith Krach spoke about being a CEO in the 90s compared to being one today. In a conversation with Rory O'Driscoll of Scale Venture Partners, Krach compared being a CEO of an enterprise software company with his background as a founder of Rasna Corporation, Ariba and 3Points.

Rasna Corporation was acquired by Parametric Technology for $500 million, while Krach took Ariba public, achieving a market capitalization of $34 billion.

Krach has been chairman of DocuSign for four years, and has been CEO of the company for two years.

"In terms of what is the same: the company with the best people wins. It's all about building a high performing team. I think that's universal, that's absolutely timeless," he said.

"I think the other thing, too, is finding a very big market in the middle of paradigm shift. So, when we started Ariba, we were the first enterprise application written on the Internet."
