About

šŸš€ Transform your HRIS here: remote.com/global-hr/hris-software āœ–ļøFind me on X here: x.com/ramyavmani about me: ↳ Engineer turned GTM athlete. I’m passionate about bringing hard technology products to market and solving GTM problems along the way. ↳ Former founder: Co-founded Coral in 2019 to build the world’s first automated manicure device in the home. Raised $4.3M, went through YC and learned a ton about company building. ↳ Partnership-Centric Strategist: I have a track record of inking product partnerships to boost distribution, extend product strategy, and create new revenue lines. The success of complex products (like HRIS), lies in how well they connect with other systems and workflows. If you're building solutions in the HR tech, I'd love to chat about how we could team up. šŸ€ šŸˆ When I’m not juggling work and family chaos, you’ll find me cheering for the Dubs and the Seahawks.
