Hi. I'm Dima Volovik, founding partner at Valena Technology Partners.
We are a small firm of technology operators. Between us we have run engineering and product organizations of 250 people at Amazon, launched a subscription product to a million members at Tripadvisor, scaled a reservations platform 8X to $120M at Comcast, and put computer vision and generative AI into production in businesses where the numbers had to hold.
We started Valena because the work that moves a company is rarely the work that firms sell. Companies do not stall for lack of a recommendation. They stall because no one senior enough owns the outcome inside the weekly cadence, with the authority to change what is being built.
AI creates value when it changes how the business works. That starts with a workflow worth improving: retaining a customer, resolving an exception, or helping a team make a better decision. We identify the opportunity, establish the baseline, and define what success must look like.
The work spans people, data, technology, and decisions. We bring product, engineering, data, and architecture experience to redesign the workflow end to end, with clear ownership and controls for how it runs.
The economics must hold in production. We measure revenue, margin, cycle time, and quality alongside the cost to run the system. That discipline guides what we build, what we stop, and what earns the right to scale.
So we take the seat instead of writing about it. We join the leadership team, work to your dates, and stay long enough to be accountable for what we recommended. When the engagement ends, the discipline stays with your team rather than leaving with ours.
We have run these organizations before. We bring that experience to making AI and technology work harder for your business.
