## Headline

Senior AI Product Manager \| 0→1 LLM\-Powered Platforms \| Agentic AI · Forward Deployment · JTBD \| Building at Zeroto1\.ai

## About

I build AI products that ship fast and stick\. Currently leading 0→1 launches of LLM\-powered platforms at Zeroto1\.ai — turning unstructured workflows into agentic AI systems that deliver measurable enterprise impact \(concept → production in 6 weeks, 40%\+ efficiency gains across Sales, Marketing and CS\)\. My path here wasn't linear\. I started with UX research and curriculum redesign, moved through strategy consulting at ZS Associates \(oncology GTM and brand\-extension strategy across US, EU and APAC\), then stepped into AI Product Management at Datafoundry — where I learned what it takes to move ambiguous problems through user research, JTBD synthesis, growth instrumentation and forward deployment with enterprise clients\. What I bring to AI product work: → Full AI stack fluency — agentic workflows, RAG, model evaluation, AI observability, connectors across CRM/email/calendar/BI → Forward\-deployed by default — onboarding playbooks, enablement content, rollout checklists that get enterprise customers to value in weeks, not months → Lean cross\-functional leadership — 10\+ person teams across Engineering, Design and Marketing → Data\-grounded decisions — A/B testing, growth funnels, Mixpanel / Amplitude / Langfuse observability → Speed as a discipline — 4\-week GTM playbooks, 6\-week launches If you're building AI\-native products and want a PM who has lived every part of the stack — from user interviews to LLM evals — let's talk\. 📧 kaustubhishukla662@gmail\.com
