Experience

Petavue

Founder, CEO

Jan 2024Present · 2 yrs 3 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

  • We’re rebuilding the GTM analytics stack as agentic-first, so RevOps/Marketing Ops/CX Ops can go from data connection to verified, executive-ready insight in ~30 minutes—no SQL, no semantic modeling rabbit holes.
  • As founder, I lead product vision, customer development, and go-to-market. I post regularly on founder-led growth, AI, and data storytelling — shaping how operators think about GTM intelligence.
  • Highlights:
  • Built the AI data analyst that transforms GTM data into actionable conversations.
  • Helped early customers reduce reporting time by 80%+ and uncover hidden revenue insights.
  • Accuracy as a principle. If it isn’t 100% right, it’s 0% right. Petavue’s agents self-verify at every step so operators can defend every number in the boardroom.
  • Hybrid FDE model. Forward-deployed engineers embed via Slack to proactively bridge “what users want” ↔ “how the agent behaves,” accelerating time-to-value without turning into services.
