About me
Hi, I’m Vibin Thomas. I work at the intersection of product, growth, and revenue — currently based in Dubai.. Over the past 14 years, I’ve built, launched, and scaled products and services across industries—from fintech and hospitality to e-commerce and enterprise software. I thrive on solving complex challenges, whether defining a long-term vision for a startup or leading large-scale transformation programs at established organizations.
As founder at Staq.ai, I drove the vision for Staq Copilot—a B2B SaaS platform that uses AI to simplify software selection and procurement for distributors and buyers. I also spearheaded Staq42, our consulting arm, guiding clients in fintech, manufacturing, and retail through digital restructuring projects that cut costs and sped up processes by up to 30%.
Before Staq.ai, I led global strategy and monetization at Adventus.io—scaling revenues nearly nine-fold—served as VP of Digital Products at JPMorgan Chase, and managed revenue and growth teams at OYO Hotels and Ola Cabs. Along the way, I’ve directed cross-functional teams across 24 countries, overseen P&Ls north of $50 million, and earned an MBA in Marketing & Strategy from the Indian School of Business.
I’m passionate about data-driven decision-making, practical AI applications, and customer-centric roadmaps. Outside of work, I share lessons learned through my “Learn, Build, Explore” newsletter and YouTube channel, and I help organizations pick and implement the right technology via my procurement consulting service.
If you’re curious to explore potential collaborations, grab insights on product strategy, or just say hello, feel free to connect on LinkedIn or subscribe to my newsletter.
