Vahe Kuzoyan is the co-founder and President of ServiceTitan. With his co-founder, Ara Madhessian, Vahe dreamed up ServiceTitan as a “thank you” to his father, a veteran plumber who grew frustrated by the lack of technology in the industry.
Vahe is responsible for defining the company’s overall product strategy, overseeing the development and launch of new products, and perfecting the platform’s user experience and analytics. He is the principal domain expert and product visionary behind ServiceTitan’s innovations.
Vahe lives in Glendale, California with his wife Ruzan and their three children. He earned his B.S. in computer science, neuroscience, and business administration from the University of Southern California.
Ara Mahdessian is the co-founder and CEO of ServiceTitan. Born in the trades, Ara grew up watching his father, a residential contractor, work long days in the field, and long nights back at home managing the business. Ara met his ServiceTitan co-founder, Vahe Kuzoyan, on a college ski trip where the two bonded over their shared culture and upbringing – both Armenian-American immigrants who saw their parents tirelessly work their way up from service technicians, to proud owners of trades businesses.
Armed with a unique knowledge of the industry, they set out on a mission to provide the trades with an end-to-end technology platform to help contractors grow their businesses and reach the level of success they deserve. And with that, ServiceTitan was born. Today, the company powers over 15,000 contractors with a software solution to manage every aspect of their business.
A proud Armenian-American, Ara lives in Glendale, California with his wife, Katherine, and their four children. He graduated from Stanford University and holds degrees in both Management Science and Computer Science.
