Hyperbound Partners with SDR Leaders of USA to Kick Off U.S. Chapter Launch

[San Francisco, CA ] – Hyperbound partnered with SDR Leaders of USA to launch their first in-person U.S. event, an exclusive dinner and discussion in San Francisco exploring how AI is reshaping modern GTM teams. The evening brought together top SDR managers and sales leaders to dig into how prospecting teams are evolving in a post-AI world.

Supporting a Community of SDR Leaders

SDR Leaders of USA was co-founded by David Wilkins and Dale Thorn, two well-respected voices in sales leadership. After building a thriving community of outbound leaders across EMEA, they expanded stateside in 2024 and chose Hyperbound to co-host their inaugural U.S. meetup.

This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a signal: the sales development function is changing fast, and leaders are hungry for clear guidance on how to structure their teams in a world of AI tooling, full-cycle roles, and shrinking budgets.

The discussion focused on:

• The future of SDR vs. AE roles in modern GTM
• How AI is changing both the work and the workflows
• Building smarter org structures for pipeline generation

Co-sponsored by Orum, the event also included an open Q&A and plenty of time for attendees to share challenges, test ideas, and get tactical about what’s working right now.

What This Means for SDR Leaders

The launch of SDR Leaders of USA marks the beginning of something bigger: a national community where SDR leaders can learn from each other, stay ahead of GTM trends, and evolve together. And Hyperbound is proud to be part of that foundation.
