Dan Springer served as the CEO of DocuSign from April 2017 until June 2022. With a background in economics from UC Berkeley, he led DocuSign through significant growth during its public launch in 2018. His leadership helped the company reach a peak market capitalization exceeding $400 million in mid-2020. Springer was also known for his focus on aligning executive compensation with company performance, evident in a compensation plan tied to metrics like revenue growth and operating income. Although he enjoyed a lucrative compensation package, including $20 million in 2021, he resigned amid ongoing litigation with the company. Post-CEO, he was appointed as a director on DocuSign's board, extending his influence on the company he once led. His tenure marks a time of rapid expansion and competitive positioning in the digital signature space.
