Kabir Shahani[1]is an American business executive and technology entrepreneur. Shahani has been a senior executive with experience at many stages of the life-cycle: start-up/bootstrap, venture funding, M&A, and IPO experience. Prior to Amperity[2], Shanani was a leader at Appature.
Early life[edit]
Shahani attended the University of Washington and obtained his Bachelor of Science in Informatics and a Certificate from Kellogg School of Management’s Advanced Management Program (AMP). He was part of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity (Alumni Member) and Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Fraternity. Currently, he lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife and two daughters.
Career[edit]
Currently, Kabir is CEO and co-founder of Amperity, a customer data management platform software company working to address the most pervasive challenge facing consumer brands today. Previous to Amperity, he served as CEO of Appature, a leading SaaS company he co-founded in 2007 and was acquired by IMS Health in 2013. Amperity, 2019 Best Company to Work For[3], raised $50 million in Series C[4] funding in July 2019.
Amperity was founded because Kabir and his co-founder, Derek Slager, saw that consumer brands were only using a fraction of their customer data. After looking for vendors to help brands identify their customers across fragmented systems, and then make it data actionable, they realized there wasn’t a platform that did that. When Shahani and Derek, realized that, they built their own.
More than just a mind for data, Kabir is a visionary and with Amperity’s team behind him, Amperity can take their customer’s data to the next level.
Awards[edit]
He was named one of BusinessWeek’s “Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs of 2009” and was also named a 2011 Puget Sound Business Journal “40 Under 40” honoree. In 2012, he was named U.S. SBA “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” award, and also recognized by PharmaVoice Magazine as one of the “100 Most Inspiring People in the Life Sciences Industry”.
