Devrim Celikay

Cognaite is a revenue operations (RevOps) consultancy founded by Devrim Celikay that builds the backend operational systems online businesses need to keep scaling once manual processes start breaking down. The firm's work spans lead capture and qualification, CRM optimisation and redesign, automated trigger-based workflows, fulfilment automation, live dashboards and reporting, client onboarding automation, and inbox management systems - all aimed at businesses in the $50k-$400k monthly recurring revenue range that are trying to grow capacity without proportionally growing headcount.

Cognaite runs a four-phase engagement - Discovery, Audit & Design, Build & Deploy, and Optimize & Transfer - and builds inside tools clients already run, including Close CRM, HubSpot, Stripe, Slack, Airtable, GoHighLevel, and Zapier. The company states it has delivered more than 90 RevOps systems across over 40 client businesses, with clients reporting an average of around 62 operations hours saved per week and 94% client retention.

Celikay is based in Gateshead, England, in the greater Newcastle upon Tyne area, and positions Cognaite's engagements around giving founders the operational clarity to grow past the $150k MRR mark without the business running entirely through them.
