Kunal Mittal

ABOUT ME

I am an Entrepreneur and serve on the Board of Advisors for multiple technology startups. Advisory roles and CTO positions is what I aspire to continue to do at an early stage startup.

I am a Technologist with over 20 years of experience working at all size companies, from early stage startups to large Enterprises.

My strengths are product strategy, technology strategy, and execution. I have led B2B2C SaaS products launches, resulting in 1M+ daily active users & 40% MoM growth < 90 days of launch. Additionally, I have a proven track record of guiding product teams in defining solutions that help B2B customers achieve their key revenue and growth metrics and driving network efforts between B2B and B2B2C platform solutions.

I enjoy building high performing teams with a passion and gumption to Innovate. Having lead small teams to large teams of ~400 people, I have spearheaded all technology functions - Product Management, UX, Data Sciences, AI, Development, Quality Assurance, Architecture, Cyber Security, Infrastructure, and Corporate IT functions.

Along with my wife, Neeta, I have started a winery in Paso Robles (Central California) named LXV Wine, which won an award for being the 7th best Tasting Experience in the US by USA Today.

I am also an instrument rated private pilot with almost 600 hours of flying.
