What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading digital learning or academic strategy where I can scale data-driven pedagogy, build cross-functional teams, and improve instructional impact.

I am a Global EdTech leader with 7+ years driving large-scale learning-system transformation across public and private school networks. I combine structured pedagogy, data analytics, and product-academics alignment to deliver teacher-facing solutions that scale.

At Taleemabad I led Digital Learning, uniting academics, product, and data teams to launch automation and co-creation workflows like the Fluid Lesson Plan System, which reduced teacher prep time by 25%.

I developed the FICO (Fidelity & Impact Classroom Observation) framework to improve classroom adoption fidelity by 50%, and established OKRs and scorecards to track retention, engagement, and time saved across partners.

My work has scaled solutions to 10,000+ learners, built academic QA and assessment systems, and delivered measurable improvements in assessment validity, reliability, and instructional quality.
