As an Executive-in-Residence at Summit Partners, David works alongside Summit’s growth products & services team to identify new investment opportunities and advise growth-stage companies within the data and analytics sector.

Dr. Krajicek is an experienced operator who has built and led data and analytics companies for more than 25 years. Most recently, he served as CEO of JATO, an automotive data company, where he led meaningful value creation initiatives centered around technology enhancement, new product launches and improved go-to-market. Dr. Krajicek joined JATO following a 14-year tenure with GfK, a global market research and analytics company where he held several executive roles, leading teams of several thousand people and managing a nearly $1 billion P&L. In 2017, GfK was acquired in a take-private transaction valued at $1.5 billion. As part of GfK’s global management board, Dr. Krajicek was named CEO of the company’s research division, leading it through its transformation and sale to Ipsos.

Prior to GfK, Dr. Krajicek spent nearly a decade at ARBOR, a U.S.-based data-led market research firm. During his tenure at ARBOR, the business underwent transformative growth, scaling 30-fold and ultimately resulting in an acquisition by GfK.

Dr. Krajicek holds a BA in cognitive psychology from UC San Diego and an MA and PhD in cognitive psychology from Claremont Graduate University.
