Gautier Lavigne
Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) @ ZIWO
About
I didn't join ZIWO as CRO. I built the role from scratch. Started as a team of one (no playbook and no inbound engine). Found product-market fit, built the acquisition model, then took over Sales, then Onboarding & Account Management. Today I own the full revenue function across 4 offices in MENA. Before ZIWO: 10 years opening markets across 3 continents — USA, Australia, Russia at Ippon Technologies. France, Spain, Italy, Middle East & Latin America at Everbridge. International has always been the only way I know how to operate. Coming from EPITECH, I sit at the intersection of tech and business which is why I can GTM a Voice AI product that engineers trust and customers adopt. But what I'm most proud of: the people. 16 internal promotions in 3 years through the MDR Academy. Teams that grow, get promoted, and build careers across 15 nationalities. The scoreboard: 📈 6.6x revenue growth since Series A🌍 9 markets opened · GTM execution across 20+ countries🏢 1,000+ customers · 20+ industries🤖 ZIWO Voice AI launched at GITEX 2025 · 50+ customers in production in 2 months🇮🇳 UAE Minister of Economy delegation to India🏆 Deloitte Fast 50 × 2 · UAE Future 100 × 2 Scaling SaaS in MENA is one of the most complex and rewarding GTM challenges I know. I share what I learn along the way. If you're building in the region, let's connect. 📩
