Seamus Ruiz-Earle: Building, Exiting, and Backing the Next Generation of Technology at age 23, an honor that followed an earlier milestone: at 18, he became the youngest known Trailhead Ranger and Trailblazer in Salesforce history. Currently, Ruiz-Earle serves as the founder of Carabiner Capital, a private family office focused on acquisitions and investments across software, technology, and services, while also acting as Managing Director of Revenue Operations and Technology at SBI. Since 2016, he has also served as the founder and chairman of Michael’s Way, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to supporting child victims of violent crime. Through podcasts, industry forums, and executive advisory roles, Ruiz-Earle maintains a consistent perspective: companies often address revenue operations far too late, treating as a cleanup task what should be treated as foundational infrastructure.From Cold Calls to the Salesforce Ecosystem
