At CallFire, Dinesh led all digital marketing and part of their product innovation by initially driving the development and design of every one of it's products. He designed the logo, developed the videos you see today for each product login page, wire-framed IVR Builder and even helped shape a cloud call center product with clever prototypes and the help of independent designers. These decisions helped democratize a previously expensive suite of products reserved for the enterprise. At CallFire, Dinesh led almost every demand generation and marketing initiative prior to 2014. This resulted in a healthy SAAS YOY growth of 15-30% and revenues exceeding $18 million annually, mostly due to in-house marketing and growth initiatives.
