Bio
Kyle Poyar is the leading practitioner-analyst at the intersection of product-led growth and pricing strategy. Where Patrick Campbell approaches pricing from a data-driven research methodology, Poyar operates at the systems level, connecting pricing architecture to GTM motion, sales compensation, product analytics, and expansion revenue mechanics. His central thesis is that the shift from seat-based to usage-based and hybrid pricing models is not a trend but a structural transformation in how software companies capture value, and that companies who align their pricing model to their value delivery mechanism will consistently outgrow those who do not.
