About Richard Naimy

Strategic Leadership at the Intersection of AI, Growth, and Operational Clarity

Welcome to StrategicAILeader.com – a platform for founders, operators, and modern leaders who want to scale smarter, lead better, and integrate AI into real-world business strategy.

I’m a growth-obsessed operator with over +20 years of experience leading teams, building systems, and driving measurable results across PropTech, SaaS, and Digital Marketing. From bootstrapped startups to $500M+ enterprises, I’ve helped turn vision into execution and execution into competitive advantage.

🚀 What I’ve Done

In executive roles including COO, VP of Growth, and Director of SEO/Product at MyEListing, Nations Info Corp, and Realtor.com, I’ve:

  • 📊 Scaled SEO across 134M+ pages, growing traffic from 2M to 75M+ unique visitors annually
  • 📉 Reduced operational costs by 21% through automation and workflow redesign
  • 📈 Made SEO the top revenue driver at a $500M+ brand
  • 🤖 Built AI-driven MarTech systems that streamline customer engagement and unlock new growth channels
  • 🛠️ Integrated AI tools into marketing and ops for faster, smarter execution
