What I ran

Owned product strategy, pricing and go-to-market. Simplified the product portfolio from 20 to 3 and moved 80% of customers to the cloud in two years. Launched a dedicated-enterprise cloud that booked $15M in new SaaS ARR well within its first year. Net revenue retention reached 122%.

After the Banneker investment we aligned our operating cadence with the new owner. In 2021 iGrafx bought Logpickr, a process mining company in Rennes, France. I was deeply involved in the acquisition, and its integration into the iGrafx platform was my work.
