Career
Currently, Kabir is CEO and co-founder of Amperity, a customer data management platform software company working to address the most pervasive challenge facing consumer brands today. Previous to Amperity, he served as CEO of Appature, a leading SaaS company he co-founded in 2007 and was acquired by IMS Health in 2013. Amperity, 2019 Best Company to Work For, raised $50 million in Series C funding in July 2019.

Amperity was founded because Kabir and his co-founder, Derek Slager, saw that consumer brands were only using a fraction of their customer data. After looking for vendors to help brands identify their customers across fragmented systems, and then make it data actionable, they realized there wasn’t a platform that did that. When Shahani and Derek, realized that, they built their own.

More than just a mind for data, Kabir is a visionary and with Amperity’s team behind him, Amperity can take their customer’s data to the next level.
