I’m the Co-Founder & CEO of Katalyst, a New York City-based startup where we’re building AI agents for enterprise sales teams. Our mission is simple: make every account executive dramatically more effective by giving them an AI colleague that understands their pipeline, surfaces what matters and automates admin. 
With a computer science background from Cornell and experience across cloud observability and GTM at companies operating at massive scale, I’ve seen firsthand how much revenue teams lose to slow complex sales admin and manual prep. Katalyst was born to fix this.

At Katalyst, we’re obsessed with clarity, speed, and impact. We take the most painful parts of selling - prep, research, messaging, CRM scribing, meeting readiness and automate the complexity behind the scenes. Our AI agents do the work so sellers can focus on what actually moves revenue.

If you ship fast and want to build something category defining, come help us push the boundaries of AI for enterprise sales workflows.
