Jim Watson

Jim drives Gumshoe's revenue strategy and go-to-market execution. As CRO, he's responsible for building the sales and partnerships engine that has brought over 7,500 brands and agencies onto the platform.

Jim brings more than 20 years of experience in general management, sales, and business development at high-growth technology companies. He previously served as Senior Vice President at both Foursquare and Placed, where he built and scaled revenue organizations around location intelligence products. His career has consistently centered on helping companies commercialize new data-driven categories before they become mainstream.

At Gumshoe, Jim recognized early that AI visibility would follow a similar adoption curve to location data: initially opaque, then suddenly essential. His experience building sales motions for emerging categories is exactly what Gumshoe needs as the GEO market takes shape.
