Christopher Swarup — CEO
I believe great growth starts in operations. Most MOPS leaders recycle the same playbook. I don’t — because every company deserves a Martech stack built for its goals, its motion, and its growth model. For 15+ years, I’ve helped high-growth SaaS and AI businesses design custom GTM systems that connect people, process, and platforms around measurable outcomes. I start with business architecture, not software — then engineer the data, automation, and attribution frameworks that leadership can actually trust. I lead from the middle — hands-on with systems, yet deeply strategic with stakeholders. I’ve built and scaled high-performing global MOPS teams across Marketing, Sales, Product, and RevOps, uniting functions that rarely speak the same language into a single, data-driven operating rhythm. At the core, I believe Ops = Growth. When designed right, operations become the most scalable revenue lever in the business. ⚙️ What That Looks Like –18 % Martech cost, +30 % execution speed by tailoring stacks to revenue impact, not vendor hype +30 % forecast accuracy, +40 % reporting reliability through unified Snowflake + Tableau architecture –40 % SDR lag, +22 % engagement using AI-driven routing and scoring across PLG + SLG lifecycles +156 % MQL growth, +15 % QoQ pipeline after rebuilding attribution and lifecycle logic from scratch Built the first Global MOPS COE supporting 120 + marketers — scalable, but never cookie-cutter Mentored distributed teams across EMEA, AMER, and APAC — fostering collaboration, autonomy, and accountability 🤝 How I Lead & Align - Bridge Marketing, Sales, Product, RevOps, and Finance to create shared metrics, not silos - Build teams that balance strategy, execution, and curiosity — capable of both designing and delivering - Combine AI, analytics, and human judgment to turn data into action - Roll up my sleeves when needed — because credibility starts with knowing the craft 🎯 Who I Help - CMOs / CROs: predictable pipeline, cleaner attribution, scalable GTM execution - CFOs: reduced TCO, data integrity, defendable forecasts - CEOs / Founders: unified GTM architecture that drives sustainable growth If you’re done with “plug-and-play” Martech that doesn’t fit your business reality, let’s build one that does — intelligently, efficiently, and built to scale.
