Why Dean Curtis
Stands Out

Dean Curtis is the CEO of Ingage, the industry leader in interactive sales presentations for the home improvement industry. Ranked #8 Preferred Partner in the 2026 Power100 rankings, Ingage powers elite home services sales teams around the world, delivering over 300,000 presentations each month and helping contractors close more deals through polished, data-driven, interactive content. Dean joined Ingage in February 2017 as Chief Revenue Officer, quickly moved into the COO role, and was named CEO in October 2019. Under his leadership, Ingage has become the preferred sales presentation platform for mid- to large-market contractors, manufacturers, and home services companies. The platform offers interactive presentation creation, robust sharing tools, rich analytics that show who's presenting, how long they spend on each section, and where engagement drops off — giving sales managers unprecedented visibility into their team's performance. Ingage has built an impressive ecosystem of strategic integrations with leading home improvement technology platforms including Paradigm Vendo, Leap, Renoworks Pro, and a Content Marketplace featuring professionally designed presentation templates. Recent innovations focus on personalization and dynamic content, where 80% of a presentation is standardized while 20% updates automatically with CRM data, customer details, or real-time pricing. One notable client success story saw Ridge Top Exteriors boost their closing rate by nearly 4 points and achieve a 40% increase in revenue across multiple locations in their first year using Ingage. Before Ingage, Dean built a distinguished 25+ year career in enterprise technology. He started as a Sales Engineer at Oracle, then held roles at Intellisync and Palm before joining Apple in 2008 as part of the first team supporting the iPhone in business. At Apple, he was instrumental in helping architect and execute the strategy to drive adoption of iPhone and iPad across the Fortune 500. Before his tech career, he spent four years as a Math teacher in Baltimore County Public Schools, giving him a unique educator's perspective on training and enablement. Dean holds a BS in Economics and Mathematics from The Ohio State University and an MBA from The Wharton School (2010–2012). He coaches youth sports in his community, reflecting his passion for mentorship and development both inside and outside the office. Ingage is headquartered in Yardley, Pennsylvania, and Dean is a Greg Cummings mutual connection on LinkedIn.
