About
Anastasiia Shapovalova is a GTM builder for AI startups, an operator, and a C-level leader. As Chief Operating Officer of GenAI Works, the AI GTM Engine, she runs global operations for a network of 14M+ AI professionals that moves AI companies from awareness to adoption across LinkedIn, newsletters, podcasts, education, and community. NVIDIA, Notion, Perplexity, and 350+ other AI companies grow with the engine, which spans media, a GTM software platform, and an academy that drew 30,000+ students in its first month. Her career combines two disciplines that rarely meet. Ten years as a university professor with a PhD in Engineering Science, teaching programming, network security, and cryptography. And ten years as a COO, scaling teams, building R&D centers from scratch, and running operations across the US, Europe, and Asia, including at Wand AI and WorkNest. A LinkedIn Top AI Voice followed by 50,000+ professionals, she advises AI startups on go-to-market strategy and teaches leaders how to rebuild their operations around AI. Her core belief: everyone will have the same tools; the winners will be the ones who learn fastest and apply best.
