Slabstack, a leading CRM and sales intelligence platform for construction material producers, today announced the appointment of Christian Battaglia as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Battaglia, a seasoned tech leader, brings a wealth of experience in building and scaling tech ventures. He co-founded Glovo — which was subsequently acquired for $2.6 billion — and most recently founded Triple Axle, a heavy-haul trucking operations SaaS platform. An alumnus of Georgia Tech, he remains actively involved with the Institute’s computer science alumni community, where he mentors emerging talent and contributes to shaping the next generation of technology leaders.
As CTO of Slabstack, Battaglia will lead the company’s engineering strategy and guide product development as Slabstack expands into new markets.
“Christian brings deep technical expertise and a genuine passion for building products that solve real-world challenges. With him at the helm of our engineering team, Slabstack is poised to help construction material producers strengthen their customer relationships, streamline quoting, and optimize pricing. His proven track record of scaling technology platforms that transform industries will be invaluable as we continue on our growth trajectory.”
Aymeric Halvarsson
Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Slabstack
Slabstack addresses a critical gap in the construction materials sector: many sales teams rely on manual or outdated CRM and quoting tools that are slow, prone to human error, and overlook key opportunities for price optimization. Slabstack integrates with dispatch systems to provide real-time cost updates for faster, more accurate quotes and seamless, error-free conversion of quotes to dispatch projects. Built-in dynamic pricing and margin controls can boost the overall profitability of construction materials by more than 50%.
Since its inception, Slabstack has rapidly gained traction within the ready-mix concrete market, streamlining sales processes and dramatically improving profitability. With Battaglia at the helm of engineering, the company aims to broaden its footprint across other verticals that similarly struggle with outdated, fragmented systems.
“I’m thrilled to join Slabstack at this pivotal stage. We’re tackling one of the biggest challenges facing heavy building materials sales teams: bridging the gap between quoting, dispatch, and margin optimization. Slabstack isn’t just building software, we’re revolutionizing a trillion-dollar industry. The ambition, speed, and impact of this team are unparalleled, and I’m excited to drive this transformation alongside Aymeric and the team.”
