The Voice AI economy is Powered By Deepgram, and I help enterprises across EMEA Central build on it: transcription, voice agents, and real-time speech at scale, all from one API I've spent 15+ years where technology, product, and enterprise sales meet.
More
I co-founded Pitcher (a Salesforce partner, since exited), where I personally closed 7-figure deals with Novartis, Coca-Cola, and Abbott, running discovery, demos, and technical validation directly with C-level buyers. To scale that in the field, I built a forward-deployed engineering team embedded with customers and owned the loop from field feedback to product, turning customer-specific wins into platform capabilities. We hit $15M ARR, bootstrapped. I also served on Salesforce's Partner Advisory Board for CRM Most recently I founded getitAI & Twinity, raising $2M+ to build real-time AI video agents for consultative selling. I validated the tech, landed enterprise design partnerships, and learned firsthand how AI adoption timing really works inside large That's the lens I bring to Deepgram: I know how enterprises evaluate and adopt AI, so I'd rather start with a real conversation about your use case than point you at a free Based in Zurich. Always up for a great coffee or green Let's talk (Calendly link above)
