Founder & Pricing Transformation Lead

Fifteen years turning pricing into commercial value.

I’m Ammanuel “Tom” Selameab, founder of Curly’s Consulting—please call me Tom. I’ve led pricing at Carta and Sprout Social and advised more than 50 companies across SaaS, payments, retail, analytics, and infrastructure.

For PE firms, I operate between the deal team, operating team, and portco management. I identify the pricing opportunity, quantify the value-creation case, and translate it into a plan the business can actually execute.

My work connects customer evidence to financial outcomes: stronger price realization, better packaging, tighter discounting, more scalable value metrics, and a clear path to revenue and EBITDA expansion.
