Seasoned executive leader with expertise in operational strategy and automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned executive leader with over 17 years of experience, including a decade as a trusted advisor to executive leadership. My focus has been on architecting the operational and digital backbone for high-growth enterprises. I excel in translating complex business needs into tangible tools, automation, and infrastructure, leveraging data-driven insights to shape operational and business strategy.
Throughout my career, I have led high-impact projects from concept to execution. At Vriddhi Haat, I architected a comprehensive operational framework for a last-mile e-commerce business, empowering teams across 14 districts. I also engineered a custom CRM solution that streamlined the entire lifecycle of 3,500 VLEs, showcasing my ability to design scalable systems that drive efficiency and growth.
My experience extends to transforming chaotic data environments into unified operational systems, as demonstrated during my tenure at Frontier Markets Consulting. I am passionate about using technology to empower individuals and improve productivity, as evidenced by my work with rural women entrepreneurs. I am committed to driving innovation and operational excellence in every role I undertake.
