CEO, Conversica
Mike Gilson is the CEO of Conversica, where he is leading the transformation of the company into an AI-powered revenue platform for automotive retail. Under his leadership, Conversica has navigated a full operational turnaround, achieving sustained profitability while repositioning its product around an agentic CRM model built to help dealerships identify, engage, and convert revenue opportunities automatically.
Mike has spent his career building and scaling enterprise software businesses, with deep experience across product strategy, M&A, and go-to-market execution. Prior to Conversica, he served as Chief Product Officer at Telestream, where he led global product strategy and operations across a multi-product portfolio serving customers in over 160 countries.
He is focused on a simple idea: dealerships are sitting on millions in untapped revenue, and the next generation of AI will not just surface those opportunities, it will act on them.
