Nanami Chrysler
University: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Class of 2028, B.S. Information Technology & Web Science and Cognitive Science Dual
Role at OKNY: Business Developement and Growth Consultant
Fun Fact: I can speak Japanese fluently!
Key Project Roles: I lead go-to-market initiatives including ICP development and prospect research. I also analyze our marketing and website performance by building KPI dashboards to visualize SEO data, helping the team inform data-driven marketing decisions. Beyond analytics, I optimize our website content, contribute to investor pitch decks, and develop marketing collateral to support customer acquisition and business growth. My work is highly research-driven, ensuring that every marketing and growth initiative is informed by data, customer insights, and market trends.
“The most surprising thing has been seeing how quickly multiple projects had to progress simultaneously from the very beginning. While the engineering team is focused on building the actual product, I’m working in parallel on the outreach strategy, advertising, and figuring out how we actually get this in front of the right people. I didn’t expect to have this much ownership this early, but it’s pushed me to think more independently and learn as I go!”
