Background

About Ingmar Bertram

I build and scale platforms where education meets marketing technology. Today I’m Co-Founder & early stage Head of Operations of our bootstrapped, award-winning SaaS-startup EduConvert, an AI-driven CRM platform that helps universities and training providers turn inquiries into enrollments - fast, trackable, and at scale. EduConvert is backed by the tech incubators Movexum (Sweden) and EnterpriseWorks at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Previously I spent 12 years at Keystone Education Group, where I grew kursfinder.de from a blank whiteboard into Germany’s leading continuing-education marketplace, hitting 2 M+ annual users and seven-figure revenue. As COO I owned P&L, GTM, and a 20-person cross-functional org. Mid-build, I began an Executive MBA at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (’25), because execution and learning should compound in real time. Core Strengths • P&L & board-level Ops leadership • Product roadmap ownership & 0→1 SaaS builds • Data-driven GTM & enrollment funnels (B2B marketplaces, CRM) • CRM architecture & process automation for education providers • Leading hybrid, multicultural teams (English • Swedish • German) • Fundraising, investor relations, and M&A diligence Snapshot • 15 yrs EdTech / B2B SaaS • Founded two ventures in Germany before 30 • Lived and worked in Germany, the USA, and Sweden • Speaker on enrollment optimization and EdTech growth Let’s connect if you’re scaling a learning-tech platform, hunting for a COO / VP Operations who speaks both product and profitability, or just want to swap ideas on global expansion.
