Just me. Biased. Opinionated. Unfiltered.

I’m a product builder. I started as a developer — literally the guy who wrote the code — worked my way up to a CPO seat, and then went right back to building.

LeadsBridge is the throughline: I joined as the sole developer, stayed six years, and left as Chief Product Officer with 400+ integrations, $3M ARR, and an acquisition by ActiveProspect. From there I ran a $37M+ ARR embedded platform at Workato, then led integrations at PandaDoc until my role got restructured out in 2026. Integrations, platforms, AI — same pattern, different companies.

Now I’m co-founding Astika, a real-estate auctions platform for Italy, AI-first from day one — LLM pipelines and agentic coding doing a lot of the heavy lifting, and me doing a lot of the actual building.

This is where I write about it: product, AI, integrations, what actually works versus what sounds good in a slide deck. No corporate gloss, no hot takes for the algorithm.

If you want to talk product strategy, AI/LLM productization, API integrations, iPaaS, embedded platforms, product-led growth, or go-to-market — drop me an email at alessio.ragni@gmail.com or find me on LinkedIn. Based in Italy, remote (CET). Outside of work: Spartan races and being a father, usually in that order of soreness.
