About Rodolphe Ködderitzsch

I build and scale revenue-generating businesses.My work sits at the intersection of product, monetization, and go-to-market, typically in situations where there is strong user growth, but unclear revenue models, positioning, or operational structure. My perspective is shaped by a deep curiosity and love for internet culture and creators, which informs how I design products, monetization systems, and platform experiences.Over 20 years at Google, YouTube, Squarespace, and multiple startups, I’ve owned and operated multi-hundred-million-dollar businesses and helped shape products used by tens of millions of users across consumer tech, SaaS, and the creator economy.I’ve led full P&L ownership, built monetization systems, defined pricing and packaging, and aligned product, go-to-market, and partnerships to drive revenue and profitability. My experience spans both 0→1 and 1→scale environments, from founding and scaling startups to operating within large public companies.I’ve also negotiated and built strategic partnerships across the tech and media ecosystem (Meta, Apple, Spotify, Disney, Warner, VEVO), bringing together product, distribution, and monetization at scale.What I’m known for:• Owning and scaling P&L-driven businesses across consumer platforms• Turning user growth into revenue through pricing, packaging, and go-to-market strategy• Bringing clarity and execution to ambiguous or under-monetized products• Aligning product, go-to-market, and partnerships around business outcomes• Bringing a strong intuition for how culture, creators, and technology intersect, and translating that into product and monetization outcomesI was selected into OpenAI’s Sora / Artist Alpha Program, gaining early exposure to emerging generative media workflows and AI-native content formats, a perspective I integrate into product, design, and go-to-market strategy.Currently focused on CEO / GM roles with full ownership of product, monetization, and go-to-market.Selectively open to advisory work where I can directly impact strategy, growth, and business outcomes.
