Experience

Swirl

2 roles

Founder & CEO

May 2025Present · 10 mos

  • Building Swirl, a company pioneering agentic commerce — helping enterprises design and deploy bespoke AI agents that think, talk, and sell like their best salespeople.
  • Most enterprises are racing to build AI agents, but get stuck on time-to-market and time-to-revenue. Swirl changes that — we co-create custom, multimodal AI agents (sales, search, voice) that go live in days, not months.
  • I’ve always believed the next frontier of enterprise software isn’t dashboards or APIs — it’s autonomous systems that think, decide, and transact. Swirl is building exactly that — the Palantir for agentic commerce, starting with automotive, then expanding into electronics, appliances, outdoor, and high-value consumer categories.
  • If you’re a founder, investor, or enterprise leader exploring how AI can transform the way you sell, engage, and scale — let’s connect.
