What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me to innovate and grow, ideally in a dynamic company culture that values collaboration and creativity.

With over 12 years of experience in sales and marketing, I have a proven track record of driving business growth and exceeding revenue targets. My journey began with a strong foundation in engineering, which I complemented with an MBA, allowing me to blend technical expertise with strategic business acumen. I have successfully closed business deals averaging $250K and orchestrated marketing campaigns that operate on lean budgets, consistently achieving impressive returns on investment.

As a founder of a sustainable fashion brand, I launched a digital-first Indian ethnic wear line and spearheaded the development of a luxury Western wear brand. My leadership roles have included directing revenue operations for major companies, where I accelerated revenue growth and optimized operational KPIs. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my skills in strategic sales planning, customer acquisition, and brand communications to drive results.
