Operator

Nate Turner is best known as the co-founder and CEO of Ten Speed, a content optimization and SEO platform purpose-built for B2B SaaS companies. Ten Speed helps software businesses extract more pipeline from their existing content assets by combining strategic SEO expertise with a technology layer that identifies and prioritizes high-impact optimization opportunities. Turner's work at Ten Speed reflects a broader thesis he has championed throughout his career: that organic content, when treated with the same rigor as paid media, can become a primary and sustainable growth channel for software companies. Prior to founding Ten Speed, Turner held senior roles in demand generation and growth at companies including Blend, the digital lending platform, where he developed deep expertise in performance marketing within highly regulated, high-consideration B2B environments. His career spans both programmatic media and content-driven growth strategies, giving him an unusually broad perspective on how paid and organic channels interact and reinforce one another in modern B2B go-to-market motions. Turner has been an active voice in the performance marketing and content-driven growth community, sharing frameworks around SEO strategy, content ROI, and organic demand generation for SaaS businesses. His blend of hands-on operator experience across demand generation, programmatic advertising, and content optimization positions him as a practitioner-first voice in conversations about scalable B2B growth.
