About

Emre Tezisci is a product marketer with 9+ years taking technical products to market, from first marketing hire at a Zero Trust startup through its acquisition, to $20M+ ARR at Barracuda, developer tools at Speakeasy, and now Copilot and agents at Microsoft. He builds with AI himself, writes the ET CETERA newsletter on AI adoption, and is the author of the novel Two Witnesses. He chairs Keiretsu Forum London and sits on the boards of Crossing Paths and ETAC-USA.

I started in electrical engineering (Koç University, with an exchange year at UC Berkeley), then took an MS in International Business at Hult. That mix is still how I work: understand how the product actually works, then find the story a buyer needs to hear.

Marketing is storytelling, and I practice it outside work too: I wrote a novel, Two Witnesses, published in ebook, paperback and audio.

I also chair Keiretsu Forum London, serve on the boards of the nonprofits Crossing Paths and ETAC-USA, and invest in early-stage companies.
