VIGNESH A P
@vigneshap
Product leader building B2B SaaS—from 0-to-1 scaling to GenAI security and fintech growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned product leader and co-founder with 14+ years of SaaS expertise, focused on building revenue-driving products and scaling early-stage teams from 0 to 1. At ZoomInfo, I served as Head of Product, built a successful SaaS B2B chatbot acquired by ZoomInfo, and scaled revenues from $50k to $10 million by identifying product-market fit and executing data-backed roadmaps.
Most recently, I’m co-founding a Gen AI security startup (Altimet Security), building an end-to-end Gen AI security tool with features like audit logs, compliance, insights, and visibility dashboards. I’m hands-on across GTM, integrations, analytics, and go-to-market execution—shipping differentiated features, mentoring product managers, and using dashboards/ROI analytics to improve retention (including $100K+ ARR impact) while pairing product strategy with strong customer-facing execution.
