Alex Krakoski
Product Leader with a VC's Strategic Lens
I'm a product manager, former CPG startup founder, and experienced VC investor with 10+ years of experience owning multi-million-dollar product portfolios across healthcare, fintech, and B2B SaaS. I currently lead a 7-figure P&L across 7 products serving over 1M MAU at Health Care Service Corporation, where I've shipped 2 new products and AI-powered recommendation systems generating ~$30M/year in savings and negotiated for 8-figure contracts to grow profit margins 18x YoY.
Whether building 0-to-1 at startups or scaling enterprise platforms for millions, I bring an investor's perspective - understanding what it takes to steer products and companies towards profitability, growth, and successful M&A.
