I’m a c-level executive, growth-minded leader, digital and consumer tech expert, and technology evangelist by profession.

I’ve pioneered multiple successes in transforming business models across various industries – Retail, e-commerce, Media, advertising and Consumer tech. I am a high-energy and agile leader, dynamic business strategist, and growth driver with a passion for digital technologies, product innovation, and creating compelling consumer brand experiences

Throughout my career, I’ve learned to stay curious, and continuously optimizing the business models. It’s allowed me to build world-class teams and leave my legacy behind at every organization. Few of my proudest moments,

I speak and instruct frequently at Product School – sharing my experiences with fellow business and product management professionals. I’ve delivered a keynote at Salesforce Dreamforce and Money 2020.
