DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ScaleWith, Inc., a market-making SaaS technology company that transforms social impact from a cost center into a revenue generator by embedding social impact funding into B2B and B2G transactions, today announced it has appointed Edward L. Dandridge President, effective immediately.
In this role, Ed will work alongside Founder & CEO Paul Polizzotto, managing all aspects of ScaleWith’s day-to-day business strategy and operations to ensure engineering, technology, product, business development, sales, go-to-market, and customer success achieve the company's growth plan and financial goals.

Spun out of CBS following CBS’ merger with Viacom, ScaleWith incorporates social impact funding (e.g., support for programs and companies addressing climate/sustainability, diversity, equity & inclusion, veterans/first responders, STEAM workforce development) into B2B and B2G transactions as a differentiator for sales organizations and as a value-add for procurement teams. Earlier this week, ScaleWith launched its SellWith products on Salesforce AppExchange, enabling Sales Cloud customers to increase their revenue by improving new business win rates and preserving pricing while achieving social impact commitments at no additional cost to the deal.
With 30+ years’ experience in senior leadership roles across four Fortune 500 companies, Ed has served on executive management teams of leading global companies working closely with CEOs and boards of directors. Previously, Ed was a recognized marketing and business leader, with a track record of joining large enterprises at critical points of transition to help reshape their market positioning and reputation among key stakeholders. His career has spanned government and public affairs, advertising, strategy consulting and media, as well as marketing and communications, across industries with C-level roles at AIG, Boeing, Marsh & McLennan, and Nielsen. Ed serves on the President’s Advisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and is the Chair of the Board of Directors, Susan G. Komen®. He was previously the President & Chief Executive Officer of the National Association of Investment Companies, an industry trade group representing diverse middle market private equity and venture firms.
