Professional Experience — Dima Perkis

Strategy, AI, and hands-on building

For 15+ years, I’ve used data and new technology to grow businesses at Accenture, Equifax, Mailchimp, and Lahzo. Now I’m building AI systems with company leaders, high-end home service owners, and for my own life. The part I love is when someone sees what AI can do for them and starts building with it too.

Core expertise

Applied AI systems

Building working AI systems with the people who will use them, so they know how they work and what else they can do with them.

Revenue & customer strategy

Pricing, retention, acquisition, and sales systems grounded in how customers actually decide and buy.

Zero-to-one building

Turning a fuzzy question into something people can see, try, and improve.

Judgment when the answer is not obvious

Helping leaders, operators, and technical teams choose what to do next when the data does not decide it for them.

Automation that sticks

Creating practical systems for teams and for my own life—then leaving the people closest to the work able to run them.

AI growth for high-end home services

Finding where AI can help a home service business reach better prospects, create demand, and respond faster.

Tools I use to prototype and investigate

I use these to make ideas tangible—often before anyone has agreed on what the first useful version should be.
