Yash Tekriwal
Head of GTME (Go-To-Market Engineering) Ecosystem at Clay
Building the GTME Ecosystem at Clay and integrating agentic tools like Claude Code into systems architecture.
Intro
I'm Yash Tekriwal, currently the Head of GTME Ecosystem at Clay. My career has been a journey of building systems and learning environments, from co-founding Radify Labs and teaching computer science to leading data and automation at Volley and altMBA. I specialize in Go-To-Market Engineering, where I use low-code tools and AI to build deterministic systems that save thousands of hours. I'm deeply passionate about rethinking corporate education as an 'active learning' ecosystem and exploring the 'vibe coding' frontier with agentic tools. Outside of work, you might find me at a 6 AM Daybreaker rave or competing in Racketlon. I’m currently focused on recruiting first-principles thinkers to help redefine the future of GTM at Clay and connecting with builders who don't take themselves too seriously but are serious about their craft.

Opinions
- Build vs. Buy is a false dichotomy; building includes hidden costs like maintenance and distraction.
- AI is an incredible builder but a less reliable operator.
- Silence and tension are the engines of meaningful work and effective leadership.
- Learning is a product, not an obligation.
