Keplar, whose career in enterprise technology sales spans over 30 years, brings extensive experience from his tenure at Oracle and Google. At Oracle, Keplar's roles culminated in his position as Group Vice President, where he oversaw North American sales operations and managed relationships with some of the company's largest clients. His responsibilities included generating USD $1.6 billion in annual new and renewal revenue and managing sales for a significant portion of Oracle's Fortune 500 enterprise accounts.
