Akshay Rathod is a founder and growth strategist with nine years of experience building digital-first growth engines for startups and direct-to-consumer brands from New York. He leads USONIA, a growth consultancy, and advises Primary Venture Partners while previously scaling product and growth teams at Dia&Co and Kitchensurfing and shaping experimentation culture at Nike’s Valiant Labs. Akshay blends hands-on product leadership—from acquisition and retention tactics to CRO and analytics—with strategic advisory work that helps early-stage teams turn metrics into repeatable acquisition channels. His background in consulting and a liberal arts education at Brown contribute to a data-informed, human-centered approach to growth, and an unexpected stint as a pizza cook underscores his commitment to craft and humility.
