Mert Aktas — Co-Founder
7+ years at UserGuiding. Head of Growth. Founding employee. Before UG: did marketing for a company that exited at $600M, lasted almost 5 months in corporate. I write about boring growth work that actually works, why most SaaS marketing is theater, and whatever I build with AI agents recently. When I'm not working, I'm probably failing a boss fight in Path of Exile or Diablo.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a SaaS Growth Marketing Expert with a strong focus on digital strategies.
