Dan Springer, CEO. DocuSign Springer took the helm as DocuSign's CEO in January 2017 with the mission of taking the company public. Springer came to the company with IPO experience under his belt: He helped take the cloud software and services company Responsys public and led its $1.6 billion sale to Oracle in 2014. DocuSign hired Springer after more than a year-long search for a new leader and an exodus of executives in 2016. He cut his teeth in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry at a range of companies like NextCard, one of the first online credit card issuers, and the tech-based media marketing company Modem Media.
