What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my sales expertise while fostering client relationships and driving growth in a dynamic environment.

With over 10 years of experience in Enterprise Sales, I have a proven track record of leadership in customer success and account management. My passion lies in driving client outcomes, scaling high-impact teams, and building lasting partnerships. I excel at turning customer journeys into revenue growth by aligning sales, product, and marketing teams.

Currently, as a Sales Director at Newton (powered by Affle), I manage a P&L of $2 Million while working to expand our footprint across India and Southeast Asia. I have built comprehensive customer success playbooks and partnered with product teams to enhance time-to-value for our clients. My previous role at AppTweak saw me grow the monthly recurring revenue from $2,300 to $78,000, demonstrating my ability to scale and sustain growth effectively.

Throughout my career, I have consistently achieved high enterprise retention rates and have successfully onboarded numerous clients, including Cleartrip and MPL. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to close deals with an NPS of 80+ and a renewal rate exceeding 85%. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of success and collaboration within my teams.
