Matthew J. Schiltz
Vice President, Strategic Business Development
Matthew J. Schiltz assumed executive responsibilities for strategic business development in January 2010. This is a role Schiltz held in conjunction with his responsibilities as CEO and president of DocuSign since joining DocuSign in January 2007. Under his leadership, DocuSign experienced phenomenal growth, becoming the dominant leader in the eSign market.
From 2001 until January 2007, he was president and CEO of General Software and successfully transformed the embedded software company into a market segment leader. The company enjoyed a large revenue, customer base and earnings growth resulting in the company being named to the prestigious Fast 50 list of top technology firms. General Software is the fourth company where Mr. Schiltz has succeeded the founder as president, and led tremendous company growth and success.
In 1998, Schiltz was named president and CEO of CourtLink where he successfully transformed it from a small, electronic court record company to one of the largest and most successful business to business on-line companies in the region. During his tenure, Schiltz engineered multiple financings, led a large customer base and revenue growth, recruited a world-class management team and integrated two successful acquisitions. CourtLink won national and regional awards recognizing its success, including being named an Inc. Magazine 500 and Fast 50 technology company. CourtLink grew to the leadership position in the multi-billion dollar market for revolutionizing on-line legal transactions including record access and electronic filing. It is this success that fueled its merger with the Lexis/Nexis division of Reed Elsevier Group.
Prior to CourtLink, Schiltz spent from 1995 to 1998 as vice president of operations and later as president and COO of Cable Plus/OneComm. During Schiltz's tenure, the company rapidly grew from a small cable company to a major residential CLEC and integrated services supplier in over 12 geographic markets, and was later acquired.
Schiltz was president and CEO of StatSci, the leading supplier of interactive data analysis and graphics software. In 1993, Inc. Magazine named StatSci to the Inc. 500 as well as the fastest growing software company in the Pacific Northwest. Schiltz was instrumental in the 1993 StatSci merger and IPO with MathSoft, Inc., the world's largest installed mathematical PC software company. Schiltz was named vice president/division manager and an officer of MathSoft, where he led the integration of both firms. In 1993, PC Magazine named MathSoft the fastest growing public software company in the nation. In 1994, Schiltz was a semi-finalist for the Ernst & Young/Inc. Magazine High Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
