Ilya Ginzburg is a strategic partnerships and growth professional based in San Francisco with nine years of experience scaling enterprise SaaS and data/ML products and a longer background in mobility and SMB sales. He has moved between go-to-market, product-facing presales, and operational roles—from enterprise account work at Optimizely and Scaled Inference to founding and running sales and growth at Dishero and Crave It—bringing a blend of commercial rigor and product empathy. At HOVER he transitioned from business operations into strategic partnerships, signaling strength in translating operational insight into revenue-driving alliances. He mentors startups through OneValley and has advised companies that achieved exits, reflecting a knack for early-stage value creation beyond day-to-day sales. His cross-functional experience is underpinned by an MBA in Finance & Entrepreneurship and a background in analytical marketing, plus a curious creative streak hinted at by a film-producing certification and a terse GitHub motto, Separabis terra ab igne.
