At Vyridian Strategic Advisors, I set media strategy across U.S. and international markets and lead communications for energy-sector milestones and report launches. My earned media programs have generated more than 8,000 top-tier placements and more than $50 million in media value.

I drove outreach for the launch of RMI's report “The Importance of Data Center Flexibility in Southeast Asia,” earning top-tier coverage across Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia. I also run executive visibility programs and prepare spokespeople for interviews, panels and keynotes.

At Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC), I led communications for India's electricity market, covering power generation, grid investment and power sector reform. I built relationships with government agencies, regulators, utilities and research institutions.

At CarbonCopy.info, I joined the founding team, helped grow the publication past 1 million page views and led its news team and content operations. Earlier, as Senior Campaigner and Media Officer at Greenpeace India, I served as a lead spokesperson on national energy campaigns and handled media in high-scrutiny settings.
