Taras Melnychenko shared thisJoining forces, nothing can stop us now! 📈Taras Melnychenko shared thisI am thrilled to share that Webflow has acquired Intellimize! Together we will help marketers do something that no one else can do: create on brand, professional websites that drive measurable business results. Brand + design teams will no longer have to worry about Frankensteined website experiences. Growth + demand gen teams will no longer be hamstrung by endless rounds of approvals. Together this vision and more is called a Web Experience Platform (WXP), and we couldn't be happier than to join Vlad Magdalin and team at Webflow to bring this to life. We are going to help marketers' most important marketing asset, their website, engage each unique prospect where they are in the buyer journey in the moment. We’re thrilled to bring the proprietary, predictive AI that we've been building for the last eight years to Webflow’s several hundred thousand strong community and beyond! For existing Intellimize customers, it's business as usual with the product, whether or not you're a Webflow customer. You can continue to expect the ongoing, heavy investment in product development that you have come to experience over the past eight years. Check out more below! https://lnkd.in/gMSqDzZZ

Taras Melnychenko shared thisThanks for your support, Pallavi! Never in Ukrainian history we were silent against oppressors trying to claim our land, and even if we'll lose physical war, we'll win the diplomatic one and bring an end to Putin's empire! We've got this! 💪 #standwithukraineTaras Melnychenko shared thisWith warning alarms that say, "The worst is yet to come", their soldiers, their citizens, their president are out in the uniform to protect their land, their people. My husband always reminds me, a strong wish always comes true. Putin might have a strong wish to capture #Ukraine but it is his braggart act against the courage, the stronger will of millions to be free. And if there are still doubts, look at this image that showcases the scale of the heroism of Ukraine (as reminded by my kind friend, Taras Melnychenko). #hopeprevails #freedomwins #longliveUkraine #humanitywins #people #everylifematters

Taras Melnychenko shared thisTaras Melnychenko shared thisRecruiters, Talent Acquisition, Operations, and everyone else: I, along with the Marketing team at Fountain, are launching an Online Community for Hourly Recruiting. I encourage all recruiters, operations teams, and job seekers alike to join as we will be moderating up-to-date articles, discussions, and threads on the hiring climate. It should be up and running by this week (I will include the link in the comment section below once we are live). At first, we expect much of the conversation to revolve around the impact & aftermath of COVID-19 (i.e. managing the influx of candidates, how to properly onboard candidates remotely, industries that are hiring, etc). As we begin to return to a more normal workflow, we will continue growing the forum to include more topics such as top recruiting tools, background checks, e-signature, onboarding, and remote work. I am going to be spending a lot of time in the forum, making sure there is credible & up-to-date information on COVID-19, and how it is impacting hiring. I encourage everyone to sign up and make sure you stay informed. Knowledge is power, and it is going to take all of us to minimize the impact. Please comment below any threads or discussions you would want to see in a Recruiting Community! #recruiting #community

Taras Melnychenko reacted on thisTaras Melnychenko reacted on thisDay 1 at Amazon Web Services (AWS) complete! 🚀 The last four months of building for myself & clients became a runway to the largest startup on earth. Energized to build global GTM strategy with a team of deeply talented folks. P.S. No one tell my son that there's any distinction between AWS, Amazon, and Prime Video. He currently thinks Mama works at "Tumble Leaf" and we'd like to keep it that way. 😂

Taras Melnychenko liked thisTaras Melnychenko liked thisOver the last few days, I've been overwhelmed by the kind messages, congratulations, and encouragement I've received following my promotion. Some colleagues even referred to me as a "rock star"—a compliment that means more than I can express because it reflects the incredible people I've had the privilege to work alongside. As an immigrant who chose California as home, it feels deeply meaningful to serve the communities that have given so much to me and my family. Every day, I have the opportunity to contribute to a mission larger than myself: helping protect the critical infrastructure that powers the lives of millions of Californians. One principle has guided me throughout my career: Lead with Love.❤️ Not just as a leadership philosophy, but as a commitment—to serve others, build trust, empower teams, and create environments where people can do their best work. I've learned that the strongest teams are built on respect, empathy, accountability, and a shared purpose. I am incredibly grateful to be part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company with more than 120 years of history, helping keep the lights on, supporting the clean energy transition, and ensuring that Californians receive safe, reliable, and affordable energy. Every improvement we make ultimately helps deliver more value to our customers and communities. As I step into this next chapter, I'm more energized than ever about the future of cybersecurity, AI, and digital resilience. I genuinely believe that with the talent, passion, and dedication I see every day, we can build the best cybersecurity team on the planet. Thank you to my leaders, mentors, colleagues, friends, and family who have supported me throughout this journey. This promotion is not an individual achievement—it is the result of countless lessons, collaborations, and opportunities shared by many extraordinary people. The journey continues. Lead with Love. Protect with Purpose. Serve with Gratitude. #Leadership #Gratitude #Cybersecurity #AI #EnergySector #CriticalInfrastructure #PGE #LeadWithLove #Teamwork #California #GrowthMindset #CyberLeadership #Service #PGE

Taras Melnychenko reacted on thisTaras Melnychenko reacted on thisI've worked more this quarter than any stretch of my career. I've also never felt less burned out. A few years ago I started telling my leadership team there are two very different kinds of 40, 50, 60-hour weeks. The first is real work. Hard problems, building, shipping, learning something you didn't know Monday morning. You look up, it's 7 p.m., and the day disappeared. The second is organizational work. Status updates, meetings about meetings, pacing reviews, slides explaining why you'll need another meeting. Same hours. Completely different energy. The first leaves you oddly energized. The second just drains you. Three months into building my own company, almost every week has been the first kind. That's made me rethink what risk actually means. People assume leaving a stable job is the dangerous move, but AI compressed entire industries in under two years. Doing exactly what you did yesterday doesn't feel especially safe anymore either. The number I still don't believe: I've booked 3.73x my annual executive salary in 3 short months. The crazy part? I'm not chasing it. It's a byproduct of pouring my time into the highest-impact work: partnering with some of the sickest companies in AI, building products worth monetizing, and doing selective advisory. And with that...I'm hiring. If you're a growth operator who loves going zero to one, working with clients, building systems, and making things a little better every week, let's talk. And the office? Wherever. Some days it even looks like this.

Taras Melnychenko reacted on thisToday we announced our Series A. 1M+ developers, $100M raised, $1B valuation. AI developers needed a cloud built for how they actually work. Runpod built it, and developers told each other. We’re early on that, and that’s the part I’m excited about. Much more to come. https://lnkd.in/gz2gQk9kTaras Melnychenko reacted on this🎉 We just closed a $100M Series A led by Summit Partners. Over a million developers are now building on Runpod, companies and institutions we admire like Cursor, OpenAI, Artificial Analysis, and more. Most of our growth has come through word of mouth: developers find us, build things, and tell other developers. This capital goes toward the platform. We're moving faster on infrastructure, tooling, and everything developers need to go from experiment to production without re-platforming. That's what we've been building towards ever since we started in a New Jersey basement four years ago. Learn more in our funding announcement - link in comments.

The marketing landscape is shifting from manual execution to Agentic - intelligent automation. The question isn't whether AI will transform how we work—it's whether you'll be leading the charge or catching up. At Metadata, we want to help you level up. While most AI tools stop at recommendations, MCP servers (Model Context Protocol) are the missing link that transforms AI from advisor to executor. And we're not waiting for the future—we're building it today. Here's what's changing the game for GTM teams: ✅ Analyze campaigns and the competitive landscape with a single prompt ✅ Let AI agents build audiences, create assets, and optimize budgets in real-time ✅ Deploy campaigns directly from ChatGPT without platform-hopping ✅ Maintain enterprise-level security and control throughout At Metadata, we're leading this transformation. MetadataONE is already powering real MCP workflows—from campaign deployment to creative production to autonomous budget optimization—all from a single chat prompt. To see it in action, join the MetadataONE webinar, which will demonstrate exactly how this works in practice. You'll see a live demo of an MCP server in action. When connected to MetadataONE, you can ANALYZE --> BUILD-> CREATE -> DISTRIBUTE & OPTIMIZE Your digital marketing ad campaigns with prompts in your LLM! Ready to see the future of GTM in action?
