Before founding Volvita, Grammenos was General Manager at Tribe Dynamics, a SaaS startup, where she joined as the 16th employee and catalyzed the company’s growth from $1.7M to $8M in ARR. Grammenos expanded Tribe Dynamics internationally into 14+ markets, securing global corporate contracts with some of the world's largest and most recognized brands, and led the company's expansion efforts into new verticals.

Grammenos was regularly invited to keynote industry events, investor summits and CEO roundtables on this technology-driven shift in marketing and its broader market implications.
