Product @ Deep Sync | Building AI that GTM teams actually trust

About

Product leader with 9+ years turning B2B SaaS products into AI-native, enterprise-grade platforms. Operating across the full lifecycle - 0→1 vision and build, 1→10 scale and monetization - leading AI strategy, platform architecture and cross-functional teams that ship products GTM teams actually adopt. Joined SMARTe when it was a small team with a data product and no playbook. Over 7+ years, helped turn it into something fundamentally different - an AI-native sales intelligence platform where GTM teams don't just look up contacts, they get told which accounts to pursue, when and why. That transformation didn't happen through one big bet. It happened through a series of them - each grounded in a conviction about where the market was heading. When static data started losing to intelligent workflows, we moved toward multi-agent AI. When no integration meant no adoption, we made the platform part of our customers' daily stack. When seat-based pricing became a barrier to growth, we shifted to usage-based - first in our category. The AI work spans multi-agent orchestration, intent-powered search, recommendations, workflows, MCP-based interoperability and building evals and guardrails that keep AI outputs trustworthy at scale - because shipping AI is easy, shipping AI that teams actually rely on is the real product problem. Built and scaled the product team along the way. Hired PMs, designers, engineers. Owned GTM for every major launch. Managed stakeholders across sales, marketing, CS and leadership - aligning competing priorities around a shared product vision and roadmap Before SMARTe, co-founded two SaaS products and shipped MVPs as a freelance PM. That's where the lesson stuck: great products aren't built with more resources they're built with sharper instincts. Outside work - F1 Sundays, deep house & techno, billiards and too much coffee. Now looking for the next step leading product at a company where the ambition matches the opportunity. Email: ankitpal.b@gmail.com
