Jeremiah Seraphine, Founder & Principal Consultant
Jeremiah is an entrepreneurial product and growth leader who has driven successful outcomes at startups, agencies, and large enterprises alike.
Currently, Jeremiah is engaged with Envorso as their Product Management and Customer Experience Lead, working with one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers.
Jeremiah spent 2021 embedded in the largest light industrial staffing marketplace in the United States as a product management and growth leader. He worked closely with the Chief Product Officer to establish a modern product management organization, build roadmaps for the product portfolio, and establish a martech and growth stack built on the Segment CDP. Notable outcomes include an exit to a large private equity firm, the establishment of a modern product management organization, and significant incremental revenue gains attributable to the new marketing tech stack.
In late 2020, Jeremiah worked with the CEO of the Los Angeles-based start-up PathMatch to run through David Bland and Alex Osterwalder's "Testing Business Ideas" framework. In less than six months, PathMatch's subscription business was established and ARR shot from zero to more than $400K.
Prior to PathMatch, Jeremiah served as the VP of Product for Vokal, an innovation and growth consultancy where led a team of Product Managers and Product Growth Managers to serve clients like AAR, Bosch, HAVI, Lou Malnati's Organization, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, Parking.com, SpotHero, Chamberlain, the Relish Works Food Innovation Hub, and more. He drove key outcomes for the portfolio of clients and the agency. Additionally, he founded the growth practice at the firm, establishing a durable new revenue stream that continues to grow.
Before his latest stint at Vokal, Jeremiah worked with the CEO of the Desire Company to pivot the business from a universal wish list website to the current business model - a product recommendation platform powered by athletes, models, musicians, and other influencers. Within a year, the team closed crucial first customers Roc Nation and Eastbay/Footlocker and closed millions of dollars of investment capital.
Jeremiah began his career in product as the CEO of Groovebug, an early music streaming startup he co-founded in the Northwestern University NUvention Web program. Groovebug won the 2011 demo day and went on to raise capital from an all-star group of angel investors. The company was accepted to be part of the first cohort of companies at Chicago's award-winning 1871 tech incubator. Groovebug released a series of award-winning iOS music streaming applications through partnerships with Blue Note / EMI, Universal Music Group, and Wolfgang's Vault. Blue Note’s app was even featured in an international outdoor ad campaign for the iPad Mini.
Jeremiah earned his Master’s in Integrated Marketing from Northwestern University and lives in the Bay Area with his wife, daughter, and the family dog.
