What if the reason you’re not more profitable isn’t effort, but clarity on what to fix next?
As CEO of Lavu and the force behind Marty, an AI layer built for operators, Saleem isn’t interested in prettier dashboards or yesterday’s reports. He’s focused on something far more dangerous—and far more valuable: telling you exactly what to fix today to put more cash in your bank account tomorrow.
In this conversation, we get into why POS is already commoditized, why most data tools create the illusion of control, and how AI can surface the three decisions that actually move the needle.
If you’re tired of tracking problems instead of solving them, this conversation is your wake-up call.
