Dhara Desai
@dharadesai1
Commercial marketer specializing in UK pricing, product assortment, and channel growth across retail, DTC, and marketplaces.
What I'm looking for
I’m a commercially minded marketer with 2+ years of experience driving growth across retail, DTC, and marketplace channels, with a strong focus on UK commercial strategy. At Polti UK, I own the UK product assortment strategy across Amazon, DTC, and retail—covering pricing strategy, sourcing transitions, and commercial concessions to maximize profitability.
I manage the UK Amazon account end-to-end and use market insight to make pricing and launch decisions, including a 40% YoY increase in sell-out performance. I also develop DTC promotional strategies, run competitive and market research, and translate performance tracking in Power BI and Google Analytics into actionable commercial plans—supported by cross-functional collaboration with Sales and Customer Service. Previously, at True Elements (Marico Group), I increased Amazon store page and product visits by 20% in three weeks and built a LinkedIn/Instagram-led lead generation funnel to support acquisition campaigns.
