Can open hospitality platforms
scale AI-native funnel workflows?
Unify CRM data first.

As GTM Operations Specialist, maintaining HubSpot CRM hygiene across connected hospitality applications provides the clean data foundation that AI-native workflows depend on. I previously achieved 80% less manual SDR effort through Make and Clay automation, and I would apply that workflow discipline to Apaleo's revenue engine without forecasting identical results.

Why Apaleo

Building an AI-Native Revenue Engine on Clean CRM Foundations

While Apaleo aims to build AI-native funnel workflows, scaling pipeline growth requires unifying CRM data hygiene across systems without relying on rigid dashboards. For the GTM Operations Specialist working directly with the Team Lead RevOps, unverified pipeline schemas create friction across GTM functions. I would validate this by auditing HubSpot CRM records against connected lead sources, then querying account data with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to uncover pipeline drivers and establish clean automation foundations.

Measurement & Experiment Operations
I turn ambiguous growth questions into reproducible measurement, clear experiment design, and documented decisions with human review where it matters.
The point is not more automation. It is a traceable path from evidence to a decision a growth team can defend.

What I'd do in the
first 90 days

With 6+ years across RevOps, marketing automation, Python, SQL, and HubSpot, I specialize in connecting GTM systems and building AI-driven workflows. In prior roles, I achieved 80% less manual SDR effort using Make and Clay automations, while enabling 50% faster ROI measurement through cohort tracking and multi-channel attribution.

💡 Day-90 decision gate
I will scale AI-native workflows across Apaleo's GTM funnel when automated CRM enrichment achieves high data accuracy and AI queries reliably answer business questions without manual corrections. I will iterate prompt templates and pipeline sync triggers if enrichment data shows field discrepancies between connected applications. I will stop workflow expansion if underlying CRM schema inconsistencies create data inaccuracies across pipeline stages.
Before reaching out

I already did some
homework.

The person behind the marketer

Marketing, engineering,
and a lot of borders crossed.

My name, Akshun, means "undestructable" in Sanskrit. That's not a personal brand line — it genuinely shapes how I move. I don't quit on campaigns, goals, or challenges like learning German from scratch after landing in a new country.

I started freelancing in digital marketing at 19 in India — working with Punjabi music artists, Australian businesses, and tech clients before I'd ever left the country. That early pressure to figure things out without a team or a budget is where the technical + creative hybrid came from.

I moved to Nürnberg in 2022 for an M.Sc. at FAU, added an Erasmus semester in Madrid, hit German C1, and picked up enough Spanish to embarrass myself. Outside the dashboards, I run a YouTube channel documenting the unfiltered reality of being an Indian expat in Germany — no filters, real stories.

What I keep coming back to: the best marketing sits at the intersection of creativity, data, and technical execution. Most teams have one or two. I try to bring all three.
