Marketing & Data Analytics Expert Lele Canfora Joins Akropolis as CMO

Seasoned “user growth” expert Lele Canfora joins Akropolis

Dear Akropolis community,

We are thrilled to announce that Lele Canfora is joining our team to lead marketing and data analytics as Akropolis’ new Chief Marketing Officer.

Lele, a data-savvy growth expert with more than 7 years of experience in mobile app companies and artificial intelligence SaaS platforms, has advised our team for the past few weeks and will now be joining us on a full-time basis.

The former head of growth and marketing analytics at Lovoo, Germany’s largest and most profitable dating app, Lele was instrumental in the growth of their user base, from a few hundred thousand monthly signups to more than 5 millions MAUs and $32.4 million in yearly revenues. Lovoo recently exited for $70 millions to a US-based dating group.

Lele possesses not only vast experience in consumer-oriented platforms, including leading marketing at football news app Onefootball during its initial phases (5m MAUs as of today), as well as B2B software-as-a-service platforms and networks. After having successfully founded Deckard, the world’s first A.I. powered prediction tool for project management, he created Beyond Machine, a bootstrapped and profitable training company for data scientists and software engineers, born out of his passion for data science and disruptive technologies.

Lele currently educates German corporate firms on topics surrounding deep tech. He is a strong proponent of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies at DeepTech Club, and a firm believer in its disruptive properties. He aims to evangelise the technology when speaking at numerous events, including Falling Walls Berlin, Digital Transformation School and Asia Tech Week Berlin, to name a few.
