Built by the team obsessed with
sales and AI.
Marco Solo is built by operators who have been in the room — people who know what great sales looks like and have the technology to deliver it at scale.
The best sales reps are curious, consistent, and always on. They discover real needs, build genuine relationships, and never have a bad day. Most companies can only afford a handful of them — and even the best ones need ramp time, sleep, and a salary.
We built Marco Solo to change that. Our AI sales reps work 24/7, follow proven methodology on every single call, and scale globally from day one. No ramp time. No consistency gap. A fraction of the cost. This is not automation replacing sales — it is sales at its best, always.
Dave Kennett is a sales leader and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience building and coaching high-performing B2B teams. He still sells every day — a discipline that has defined his approach as both an operator and a founder.
Dave spent the early part of his career driving sales growth across a range of technology and marketplace businesses, from Worldbid and Trader Corporation to Strutta, where he served on the executive team. He then moved into senior sales leadership at a series of high-growth Vancouver companies — including Payfirma (2015 Canadian Fintech Company of the Year), Hootsuite, buddybuild (acquired by Apple in 2018), and Netcoins — building world-class sales teams and partnership programs along the way.
In 2019, Dave founded Replayz, which set out to build AI that could measure sales skills on calls more accurately and scalably than humans. The company achieved that goal in 2022, took it to market in 2023, and was acquired by Highspot — the world's leading enablement platform — in 2024. Following the acquisition, Dave served as Senior Director of Product Management for Sales Enablement AI at Highspot, leading the integration of Replayz's conversational intelligence into the core platform and launching Highspot's native sales skills framework. Over six years building Replayz, he reviewed thousands of recorded B2B sales conversations and coached more than 60 SaaS companies with a team of 24 coaches.
Beyond his own ventures, Dave has been a strategic advisor to companies including MergeBase (acquired by Finite State) and Intricately (acquired by HG Insights), a chapter head and ambassador Pavilion. Dave is a frequent guest lecturer UVic’s Gustavson School of Business on the topics of sales and entrepreneurship.
Dave holds a BCom in Business from the University of Victoria and an MBA in Leadership from Royal Roads University. As CEO of Marco Solo, he is channeling decades of frontline sales expertise and AI-driven coaching into reimagining how companies sell.
Oscar van der Meer's master thesis was about recognising patterns and enhancing them in medical images. He subsequently worked for smaller tech companies and startups before becoming an enterprise architect in the financial industry at ING Group in Amsterdam, where he distinguished himself as an innovative technology leader, laying the blueprint for online banking and brokerage.
After immigrating to Canada, Oscar joined Central 1, a fintech platform serving credit unions and other financial institutions across Canada, as its VP of Technology. There he grew the engineering and development teams from 35 to over 400 people, earning the position of Chief Technology Officer.
In 2018 he founded a cybersecurity company, grew it and led it to a successful exit. As CTO of Marco Solo, Oscar brings deep expertise in building and scaling technology platforms from the ground up.
