We are thrilled to announce that Pankaj Srivastava has joined us as COO of Techne Studio.
Pankaj’s stellar experience speaks for itself: An engineer‑turned‑MBA and Silicon Valley–based C-suite executive, he has spent his career at the intersection of strategic execution, brand transformation, and scaling ventures from idea to multi‑million‑dollar outcomes.
Most recently, Pankaj served as President & CEO of Renaissance Park Corporation, where he led the company’s mission of developing sustainable products and forming global alliances that promote Nature-Based Manufacturing. Prior to this, he was COO and CMO at privacy app provider FigLeaf, which he grew rapidly, leading to a successful acquisition within two years. Earlier, as Group COO and Board Member at ZEO Alliance, a technology company behind award-winning security software and optimization tools, he managed and grew a multi-vertical global portfolio with a $100M+ P&L and led strategic acquisitions. Pankaj also served as CMO at White Sky – a cybersecurity firm offering real-time online protection services and acquired by Intersections Inc. – where he spearheaded a strategic transformation, growing revenue 10x and scaling the customer base from under 200K to 11M+ users.
Across various leadership roles at startups and billion-dollar enterprises alike, Pankaj has brought together visionary planning with disciplined execution to unlock revenue growth, cash flow strength, and shareholder value. As VP of Global Marketing at McAfee, he spearheaded revenue growth from $80M to over $1B in under six years, expanded the customer base from 1.1M to 22M+ users, and helped set the stage for McAfee’s multi-billion dollar exit to Intel.
From turnaround mandates and brand repositioning to scaling category defining platforms, Pankaj brings a systems level view of how to translate untapped market opportunities into durable, compounding growth. As Founder & CEO of PracticalSpeak, he helped 25+ founders sharpen GTM strategy, build sales discipline, and increase revenues by 7–25%, giving him a front row seat to the zero to one patterns that distinguish truly scalable companies from the rest.
At Techne Studio, we’re excited to see Pankaj leverage his operator depth and venture building experience to identify industry whitespaces with unicorn potential and architect, test, and scale the next generation of hospitality and travel tech.
