Aivars Akots
Engineering Excellence Lead at Stay Close Company
Latvia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAivars Akots is a founder and seasoned software leader with 14 years of hands-on experience building product-focused SaaS and web applications, now focused on Stay Close CRM to help relationship-driven B2B companies turn trust into revenue. He combines engineering, architecture and product instincts—designing workflows, writing core product and AI features, and directly engaging customers—to create tools tailored for client-facing teams rather than deal-tracking managers. Prior roles span early-stage product builds and leadership at Workday, Scout RFP and multiple startups, giving him deep experience in MVP delivery, automation and scaling engineering processes. He left corporate life to pursue a problem he cares about: authentic, long-term business relationships, and he pairs that conviction with practical skills in AI integration and legacy modernization. Based in Latvia, he quietly blends founder grit with a developer’s craft, often shipping the first iterations himself while shaping product strategy.
