Armin Kakas

Armin Kakas is the Founder and Managing Partner of Revify Analytics, a Revenue Growth Management (RGM) advisory and analytics platform for mid-market manufacturers and distributors. He has 15+ years of experience in B2C and B2B Revenue Growth Analytics, pricing optimization, and commercial data monetization.

At Revify, Armin leads the firm’s advisory practice and product strategy, helping mid-market manufacturers and distributors stand up durable pricing capability — covering price setting, discount management, exception approval, profitability measurement, and cross-functional review — typically in 8 to 12 weeks rather than the multi-year transformations traditional consultancies require.

Before founding Revify, Armin served as Vice President, Head of Advanced Analytics Commercialization at North America’s leading $5.5B consumer durables distributor. He co-founded an analytics subsidiary that enabled the parent company to monetize its data while improving internal decision-making, and grew that business from zero to over 2,500 retail and manufacturer customers. The subsidiary delivered SaaS products that captured point-of-sale transaction data and served syndicated market insights, profit, sales-mix, and inventory optimization. The work contributed to a 35% sales increase and 2x EBITDA growth in three years.

Before that role, Armin was Head of Data Science in the same company’s Revenue Management group, where he built and launched a pricing optimization platform in 90 days and developed the company’s first machine-learning-enabled markdown optimization solution.

Earlier in his career, Armin transformed a pricing execution team at a leading Food & Beverage company into a data-driven strategic revenue management group, and built a Fortune 100 retailer’s dynamic pricing capability — deploying it to more than 1,000 retail stores.

Armin also runs a widely-read Commercial Analytics newsletter and hosts analytics webinars on Revenue Growth Analytics.
