Max Berg is a Principal at Inflection Group, where he partners with founders and executive teams to build go-to-market organizations. He brings the perspective of a founder and operator who has built GTM functions across multiple stages, business models, and customer segments.
Max started his career as a consultant before joining Gainsight, where he worked on the product marketing team and helped develop go-to-market strategies for new industry verticals as the company scaled from Series A through Series D. He later earned his MBA from UCLA Anderson and co-founded ELIQS, a venture-backed startup where he served as Head of Revenue, owning the company’s go-to-market strategy across B2B, direct-to-consumer, and strategic partnerships.
Most recently, Max served as COO of Honcho, where he helped scale the company’s annualized revenue run rate by 12x while overseeing its go-to-market engine and broader business operations.At Inflection Group, Max draws on that experience to assess talent from an operator’s perspective. Having personally built teams, owned revenue targets, developed go-to-market strategies, and worked through the challenges of scaling early-stage companies, he focuses on understanding not just what a candidate has done, but how they operate and whether their experience translates to the specific stage and mandate of the business.
