Pedja (PJ) Krstic — Business Development Executive
I'm a Strategic Growth and Accounts Manager at GenAI Works, where I build and manage strategic partnerships with AI companies across our 200+ company portfolio - from seed-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. What I do: - Build strategic partnerships with AI companies (average deal size: $25K-$50K) - Manage complex sales cycles with founders, CMOs, and C-level decision-makers - Leverage the world's largest AI community (13M+ followers, 48M monthly impressions) to help AI companies scale - Design custom go-to-market strategies that drive measurable customer acquisition and revenue growth My approach: I don't just facilitate partnerships - I build long-term strategic relationships. I understand what AI companies need (visibility, customers, funding) and create solutions that deliver results. Whether working with early-stage startups or established enterprises, I know how to position value and close transformational deals. Background: Before GenAI Works, I spent 20+ years in high-value B2B and B2C sales across multiple industries. My career has been defined by building trust, understanding buyer needs, and closing complex deals in distributed environments. Network: Through my work, I've built extensive relationships with AI founders, CMOs, and decision-makers across the AI ecosystem - a network I leverage to create opportunities for our partners.
