executive relationships, ensuring every Actian interaction is highly personalized, data-driven, and timed perfectly for
maximum impact.
Capstone Overview
This capstone project focuses on building a centralized, AI-powered intelligence hub that transforms raw account
data from our CRMs into strategic executive insights. The intern will develop an automated system for creating hyper-
personalized executive dossiers that equip Actian’s leadership team for high-stakes customer engagement. By
mapping current relationship health against external market trends, the intern will provide a predictive framework for
