About Randy Wattilete

I spent ten years in growth. Now I rebuild it around AI.

I'm Randy. I learned growth the hands-on way. Data first, then the channels, then leading it for brands like Nestlé, Storytel, and felyx.

Somewhere in there AI stopped being a toy and started doing real work. So I rebuilt how I operate around it, top to bottom. Now I help founders and teams make the same jump.

What I do

Most teams use about 5% of what AI can do.

Not because the tools are weak. The hard part isn't the model, it's what you feed it and how you wire it into the actual work.

So that's where I sit. I find where AI genuinely helps your growth, get it running properly, and show how it works, so it doesn't walk out the door when I do.

The path here

How I got here

2017

Data analyst

Started in the numbers. Built the data setup so growth had something solid to stand on.

2018

Growth marketer

Ran the channels myself: Google Ads, SEO, social, affiliates. Learned what actually moves a number, and what just looks busy.

2020

Co-founded DealKiezer

First real build. A marketplace to make buying a used car less of a black box.

2021

Head of Growth, Off The Record

Led growth across startups, scale-ups and global brands: Nestlé, Storytel, felyx, Steve Madden, Shoeby.

2023

Went independent

Same growth work, my own clients, start to finish.

2024

Founded Kirro

An A/B testing tool for lean teams. Building it changed how I think about the work.

2025

Co-founded Olavi

Tracks how brands show up inside AI search. Because that's where search is heading, fast.

Now

Growth, rebuilt around AI

I help founders and teams get the same leverage, and I show how it works in the open.
