Akshath Dorai
@akshathdorai
Director of Product Marketing | Full Stack B2B SaaS PMM Consultant
What I'm looking for
I am a PMM who replaces guesswork with clarity: Building positioning, launches, and monetization paths.
Director of Product Marketing @ Wiza and co‑founder of Spinning Arrow, a fractional PMM shop for Seed‑to‑Series C SaaS.
Ex‑Apollo.io repositioning crew with 10 + years across PLG + SLG motions.
What I deliver
• Narrative & Positioning: Category stories and one‑liners investors quote, buyers repeat.
• Customer & Market Intel: Win/loss calls, persona maps, competitive tear‑downs, TAM sizing.
• GTM Strategy & Launch: Playbooks, channel tactics, comms calendars, sales kits .
• Growth & Monetization: Onboarding flows, pricing tests, expansion triggers, churn killers, activation levers
Track record:
✅ Built and scaled PMM functions from zero to “strategic lever.”
✅ Re‑positioned products that now own the SEO shelf.
✅ Mentored PMMs and coached execs so marketing stops being “the deck team.”
