From Referral Program Participant to Head of Growth: My Unconventional Journey to Reyki AI

Hello, I’m Lucas Morel, the new Head of Growth at Reyki AI. My journey to this position has been unconventional, yet profoundly rewarding. It all started when I first learned about the Reyki AI Referral Program. Little did I know, this initial engagement would set the stage for an incredible transition from a successful stint in business development and analytics at giants like IBM and Walmart, to spearheading growth initiatives at one of the most innovative AI companies today.

Discovering Reyki AI

My introduction to Reyki AI was through its Referral Program. At the time, I was intrigued by the company's unique approach to leveraging AI for business solutions. My background in business analysis and development, honed at IBM and Walmart, had instilled in me a keen eye for identifying growth opportunities and the importance of integrating advanced technologies to stay ahead in the competitive landscape. Participating in the Referral Program, I saw firsthand the potential of Reyki AI's products and the market's receptiveness to their offerings. It was exhilarating to contribute to the company's customer growth and business development from the outside.

The Transition

As I became more involved, my role naturally evolved. The team at Reyki AI recognized the value I brought through my network and my strategic approach to growth. It wasn't long before conversations about joining the team full-time began. Given my passion for the technology and the company's vision, it felt like the right move. Now, as the Head of Growth, I’m not just a participant in Reyki AI’s journey; I’m helping to steer it.

Leveraging Past Experiences

My past roles have been instrumental in preparing me for this moment. At IBM, as a Business Analyst, I learned the importance of data-driven decision-making and gained an in-depth understanding of how technology can solve complex business challenges. My tenure as a Business Development Manager at Walmart taught me the intricacies of scaling operations and the significance of building robust relationships with stakeholders across various industries. These experiences have been pivotal in shaping my approach to B2B sales and commercial strategy, especially in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment like Reyki AI.

Building for the Future

At Reyki AI, my focus is on building a professional sales team that is not just equipped to sell but to consult and partner with our clients to drive mutual growth. Implementing critical commercial mechanisms to enhance customer adoption involves a blend of strategic foresight, operational efficiency, and a deep understanding of our customers' needs. It’s about creating value that resonates with our target markets and harnessing the potential of AI to address their challenges.

The skills and insights I gained from my previous roles have been invaluable in this endeavor. Understanding the dynamics of large corporations and the complexities of business development at scale has enabled me to craft strategies that are realistic, scalable, and, most importantly, effective.

Looking Ahead

The journey from participating in a Referral Program to leading growth at Reyki AI has been nothing short of exhilarating. It's a testament to the company's recognition of talent and potential, regardless of the conventional pathways. As we continue to expand our reach and refine our offerings, I'm excited about the impact we can make on the market. The future is bright for Reyki AI, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. Together, we're not just growing a company; we're shaping the future of AI in business.
