Enterprise Solutions @ Opus // Director at NY7s — New York
karl@karlgourgue.comEnterprise sales and side quests. Somewhat non-technical, somewhat technical. Currently at Opus Training, wearing a number of hats but focused on growing the number of businesses we work with.
I studied Data Science during my undergrad years at NYU Stern. During those years I had a few cool experiences - working as a sales intern for a prison tech company in the UAE, working as a PM intern for a smartphone manufacturer in Shenzhen, and picking up rugby during my semester in HEC Paris.
I started my career doing a mix of Product and Project management in the Custom Software Development practice at Capgemini before heading to Google to sell ads to Media & Entertainment brands for a few years. From there I pivoted to SaaS, taking sales and partnerships roles at Wunderkind and Opentable before landing at Opus.
Outside of work I do my very best to get injured, playing rugby with New York Rugby Club (and running the largest single-day rugby tournament in the US), getting back into boxing, and training for my first half marathon.

Rugby tournaments are fun but discovery is entirely word of mouth. I wanted to fix that. I built a pipeline that crawls dozens of platforms, extracts dates, divisions, and fees, and normalizes them into a canonical dataset. The hard part was handling messy, ambiguous data and deduping the same event across sources without losing evidence. I added domain-specific adapters, rate limits, and change detection so the directory stays accurate as pages update.

Our fantasy league does 50+ trades a year. Every one turns into an argument about who got fleeced, but nobody could prove anything. I built a dashboard that calculates actual points scored after each trade and grades them by percentile. We have receipts now. The "Most Fleeced" leaderboard is a running joke nobody wants to top.

The New York Rugby Sevens is 65 years old. Until last year, registration was spreadsheets and email. I rebuilt the site with online signup, Stripe payments, and an admin dashboard that shows registrations and revenue live. What used to take hours now takes minutes. Bonus - we added some very cool ways to celebrate our history as the nation's oldest tournament.
