Director – Growth, CRM & GenAI

About

I work at the intersection of growth, CRM, and GenAI, with a focus on building practical technology that solves real business problems. I've spent years working with CRM implementations, customization, integrations, automation, and business workflows. Today, I'm helping build RahbarCRM — an open-source, self-hosted CRM that brings AI into everyday sales, support, and customer workflows. I'm particularly interested in open-source software, AI agents, automation, CRM, and building products that give businesses more control over their technology and data. Always happy to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from other makers building in this space.

Would you choose an open-source CRM over a SaaS CRM?

I ve been thinking about how much control businesses actually want over their CRM.

With SaaS CRMs, you get convenience, but you re also tied to their pricing, infrastructure, roadmap, and data policies. With an open-source, self-hosted CRM, you get much more control and flexibility, but you also take on more responsibility.
