Hi, I'm Pavel Fabrikantov, SVP of Product and Technology at Semrush, now part of Adobe.

I run Semrush's AI and data portfolio. Among other products and businesses: built Semrush Local into a $6M+ ARR business unit, launched the company's first GEO product, created the DaaS business, and scaled the portfolio to $200M+ ARR. Along the way, Semrush went from private, through a 2021 NYSE listing, to a $1.9B acquisition by Adobe in 2026.

Before that: multiple SaaS startups, enterprise consulting for banks. Background in fuzzy logic research (PhD ABD), engineering, and economics.

Researching contextual memory intelligence at SoloHQ AI.
