Kolben Preble
Forward Deployed AI Accelerator at Stripe
About
As Senior Manager of GTM AI Innovation at Toast, I identify high-impact AI opportunities across our go-to-market organization and rapidly build solutions that turn complex GTM challenges into competitive advantages. My focus is on driving measurable revenue growth and operational efficiency through intelligent automation and strategic AI adoption. What I Do: I bridge the gap between AI capability and business impact. From vendor strategy and tool adoption to hands-on solution development, I architect systems that help marketing, sales, and customer success teams operate at a level that wasn't possible before. My work spans AI strategy development, cross-functional implementation, synthetic research initiatives, and building the frameworks that enable enterprise-scale AI adoption. My Approach: I'm a builder first. Whether it's orchestrating data infrastructure, developing automation workflows, or engineering AI-powered solutions, I focus on practical innovation that delivers results. I believe the best GTM AI strategy combines technical depth with deep business understanding—knowing not just what's possible, but what will actually move the needle for revenue teams.
