Who We Are

Rob Dooley is the founder of BigyearGTM and has seen many global SaaS vendors come into APJ, hire expensive staff, appoint distributors that are only reactive at best, and ultimately burn cash and time before winding up operations. That's why Bigyear GTM was created - to provide a smarter, more effective way for SaaS companies to expand into the APAC & Japan markets.
