Built from the deal desk
Founder and CEO Emil Mouhanna built his career in tech, sales, and dealmaking over 22 years at Akamai and AWS. He started on Akamai's finance team, learning the company from the inside through its contracts, then built and led its deal desk into an international team handling thousands of transactions a year. From there he moved through sales and go-to-market, building a Bay Area territory, then a new LatAm strategy, before founding and leading Akamai's global gaming vertical into a market leader. He carried that mandate to AWS, leading international Game Tech Sales before founding its U.S. Games Sales vertical from scratch, building it into the games industry's leading cloud partner and serving customers globally. It's where the deal desk discipline and go-to-market instincts from his beginnings applied at hyperscaler scale, across a broader set of customers and a bigger mandate. He built these strategies inside the vendors: the structures, the sequencing, the partner programs that make a deal work. Clevrd's advisory practice is that same craft, run for the company on the other side of the table, your side.
