Pratesh John Mathew — CEO
The true test of success comes when you run up against challenges. I see times of testing as opportunities. I am reminded of the words of the great Henry Ford: “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” As a relentless pursuer of growth, my love for starting and scaling businesses stems from my bigger purpose to change things for the better. For me, problems are opportunities - I step toward them. Like most business development leaders, I thrive under intense pressure and challenge. Business development is in my DNA. In my efforts to constantly push boundaries, innovate, and step towards problems; combined with 16+ years of experience with a cross functional background in business development, enterprise sales, saas sales, AI, E-commerce, account management, and Social Media Marketing, and a history of record-breaking sales & marketing experience, a Chief Business Development Officer was born. Throughout my career, I've implemented effective sales strategies, directed go-to-market campaigns, and negotiated substantial global contracts to accelerate business development & revenue growth. I enjoy thriving on massive change in crisis situations as well as turning around unprofitable products/businesses and implementing key performance indicators to drive improved results. My Key Skills include Business Development, enterprise sales, saas sales, Sales & Marketing Strategy, Team Building & Leadership, Social Media Marketing, E-commerce, Contract Negotiation, Complex Problem Solving, Relationship Management, & Strategic Partnership. What drives me is my profound desire for a positive impact on those I lead and the world around me. I relish on intellectual challenges - I find them captivating and stimulating, and I never want to stop learning - a new skill, a new trick or trade, a new practice... And as I continue my pursuit of growth & challenges, I am able to truly make the impact I believe is possible. I am always interested in learning from interacting with others, and happy to connect with like-minded individuals!
