Patrick Severs: GTM Leadership, Teams and AI Operations

01 / Previous work

Growth only counts when the system holds.

I helped build a human-data business for frontier labs from a simple engineering-staffing approach. We turned that staffing business into four revenue lines without sacrificing margins.

122% revenue growth

2024 to 2025, with the growth motion built to run beyond a single quarter.

4 connected lines

Staffing, human data, managed engineering, and agent orchestration.

We went from one business line to 4 in 12 months.

Staffing became the foundation for a broader revenue system.
