Axel Sooriah — Co-Founder
I work embedded with enterprise customers like CVS, Mercedes, Richemont and Starbucks — helping them move from AI pilots to production deployment. At Atlassian, I sit at the intersection of product, engineering and go-to-market. I run live technical sessions where I build agents and workflows with customers in real time. I translate messy business problems into working AI systems, then feed what I learn back into product teams. Before this, I co-founded Panash, a product studio that grew to €1.1M in 18 months. Before that, I shaped the Sales Engineering function at Coveo Qubit after a $40M Series C, contributing to $36M in pipeline. And before that, I was employee #1 at Advalo — an AI-driven Customer Data Platform — where I hired the team, designed the product, and signed our first enterprise clients. I care about AI that’s safe, practical, and genuinely useful in production environments.
