Praveen Srinivas — Business Development Executive
At Progress, I lead the Inside Account Management function supporting the US & EMEA sales motion for Progress Agentic RAG. My focus is on building strong pipelines across SMB and enterprise customers, driving new business, and helping organisations explore practical use cases for enterprise AI. A big part of my role involves strengthening our Product Led Growth motion by improving the self-serve trial experience while also working closely with prospects during their evaluation journey. By combining guided engagement with a strong PLG approach, I help move opportunities through the sales lifecycle and contribute toward our revenue target. I work closely with sales engineering, product, marketing, and partner teams to turn product interest into real business opportunities. Along the way, I also mentor the inside sales team on building strong customer relationships, identifying meaningful AI use cases, and improving conversion rates. My approach is simple. Understand the customer’s problem well, connect it to the right AI solution, and create long-term value for both the customer and the business.
