MenuAmit Bakshi Go to Market Lead, Ford Next Ventures
I am a visionary, biased-for-action leader committed to bringing disruptive ideas to market. I helped grow several Silicon Valley startups, rising to leadership roles at oDesk (now NASDAQ: UPWK), LawPivot (acquired by Rocket Lawyer), and Sidecar (acquired by General Motors). I am now driving innovation, piloting new mobility technologies at Ford Next Ventures.

Source: Clarity Aden Rusfeldt Jul 8, 2015Great call. Amit provided some very good and practical advice. Well worth the investment.
Source: Clarity Rafael Richardson Feb 14, 2014Amit was a new addition to LawPivot, so the impact that he made when he joined is quite apparent.
Amit added a sense of science & data-driven analytics to our product decision-making that I wished we had had since the birth of LawPivot. It's easy to admire his passion for creating products, but also the care with which he takes to cultivate an idea, execute it, and tweak it to get it just right.
Amit also brought a lot of business skills & mature business concepts to a young start-up. After he joined, we refined the ways that we would approach tackling product decisions, and evolved our team dynamic - all for the better.
Source: LinkedIn Kenny Leu Sep 22, 2013Amit is a knowledgeable and savvy marketing professional. While working with him, I was very impressed with his search engine optimization skills in optimizing our company website and managing our online marketing campaigns. In addition, he spearheaded the development of many of our website feature, essentially taking on the role as a product manager in many cases. He is a great product manager who is able to drive the product development process by being methodical and being very easy to work with. Amit is a great asset to the team.

NCNemo ChuI've quickly made millions with marketing & sales • San Francisco & Las VegasI talk fast. International calls OK. My track record so far: - Slow-pedaled college to launch startup as employee #2 (marketer #1). After 20 months, startup was acquired for millions, shortly after I graduated. Today, Bloomfire (the startup) has raised 30 million in venture capital and employs ~30 people in Austin, TX. - Took a day job as KISSmetrics' director of customer acquisition and customer success. By night, I launched an eCommerce side business and grew it to a million-dollar business by year 1. A note about my rate: I charge more than most lawyers because I can prove that I generate revenue. For small businesses, I think revenue-generation advice is more valuable than legal advice. After all, if you have no revenue, you'll struggle to buy legal advice anyway. I want to offer a 100% money-back guarantee here on Clarity, but Clarity's terms of service doesn't let me offer refunds. No worries, I'll pay you back out of my own pocket if you're not satisfied.Marketing • Customer Acquisition • eCommerce • Online Marketing • Online Advertising • SaaS • E-commerce • GTD • Amazon • FBA •$16.67/min per minute(38)4.9 55 43
