About

Software Engineer Turned GTM Professional

I'm a Software Engineer turned Go-To-Market professional who thrives at the intersection of technology, strategy, and execution. My career has been shaped by one belief: breakthrough products succeed when technical innovation meets compelling market execution.

I began my career at Ernst & Young as a Software Engineer in Intelligent Automation, building enterprise automation solutions for global clients. Partners recognized that my ability to translate technical complexity into business value made me equally effective in customer-facing and go-to-market roles, leading me to transition into product marketing and GTM — where I helped launch four B2B SaaS AI products.

I then pursued a Master's in Engineering Management at Duke, interning at Brivo where I owned full GTM strategy for a new product, training 75+ sales reps globally. After graduation I joined Duke's Nicholas School, helping spin out GridSeer — securing $500K in grant funding and $400K ARR.

Today I combine my engineering background with modern AI tools to build scalable GTM systems that help teams move faster, make smarter decisions, and bring products to market with greater speed and consistency.

What Others Say

Real Results, Real Relationships

Akash is an amazing individual. I had the pleasure of having him on my team Summer 2023. His passion for product marketing is only outshined by his work ethic and ability to get things done. Akash was able to pick up and run on his own with key competitive intelligence, help us completely revamp our collateral suite for international expansion, and build out go-to-market assets for a new product. He is a real asset to any team.

Tim Norris

VP of Product Marketing, Brivo

Akash is a champion! His insights and intuition are strong complements to his education. During his internship he embraced every challenge and consistently delivered results. He brings real-world experience to all of his work and has an exceptional eye for detail. Perhaps one of Akash's greatest assets is his ability to understand how his work today will make an impact on future efforts.
