A 20-year automotive operator who left the floor to build an honest CRM. Available for podcasts, interviews, and panels — founder shows, automotive industry shows, and security/CTO shows.
About the operator
What he wants to talk about
Each track has receipts — not opinions. We bring specific stories, specific numbers, specific stores. If your show isn’t on the example list, that’s fine; the lane is what matters.
Track 01
Founder / B2B SaaS shows
Why I bet five verticals in year one, what the unit economics look like when one OS runs five products, and the case for building category instead of competing on features.

Track 02
Automotive industry shows
Twenty years from sales floor to GSM. What VinSolutions and Elead actually feel like at 9pm on a Sunday. What dealers should have learned from CDK June 2024 — and the question almost nobody is asking out loud.

Track 03
Security / CTO shows
Why we built AWAIS — Autonomous Web Application Intelligence System — as a category, not a feature. How a homegrown application-defense brain watches five verticals through one mesh. Why the CDK incident was a category-creating event nobody named.

This page goes live before the first booking does. When a conversation lands, it gets added here with show name, episode title, air date, and a direct listen link — not before.

For podcast hosts
I answer this inbox myself. No PR firm in the loop. No bookers, no agents, no two-week reply window.
What I bring
Length
30–60 minutes ideal. Remote or in-person. Tampa-based, will travel for the right room.
Calendar
Book directly at /demo — write “Podcast” in the comments field and we’ll route it to a 15-min producer call instead of a sales demo.
Brand assets for hosts
Mini-version of the full /press kit — just what you need for show notes and a guest-intro read.
High-res photo (placeholder mark)
High-res photography is on the way. Until then, the typographic RG mark is the on-brand stand-in for show notes and episode artwork.
2-sentence bio
Ricardo Gamon spent 20 years inside automotive — Sales to F&I to GSM — before founding Gladius in 2026 to build the CRM dealerships actually need. The platform now runs 5 vertical products on one shared operating system.
4-sentence bio
Ricardo Gamon spent 20 years inside automotive, working the floor from Sales through F&I to General Sales Manager before stepping out in May 2026. He founded Gladius the same year to build the operating system he would have killed for as a GSM — one platform that now runs five vertical products (Auto CRM, BDC, Detail, Stone Fabrication, Turf) on shared infrastructure with three pilot rooftops in production. The platform's defensible moat is AWAIS — Autonomous Web Application Intelligence System — a homegrown self-learning engine that watches every endpoint across all five products through one brain. He is based in Tampa, Florida and answers his own LinkedIn.
