What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role driving revenue and team growth, with a collaborative culture, clear metrics, and opportunities to scale operations and mentor future leaders.

I am a dynamic management professional with over 19 years of experience in sales, customer support, quality, and training across online media, education, real estate, fintech and hospitality.

As a people-first leader, I have built and scaled high-performance teams—from startups to large regional operations—expanding teams from single digits to 150+ and driving measurable revenue gains.

In recent roles I served as Vice President Sales and Associate Vice President, delivering outcomes such as growing annual admissions from 1,400 to 5,500, scaling loan business to 30 Cr/month, and launching B2B/B2B2C models that increased acquisition efficiency and new partnerships.

I bring a strategic, data-driven approach to performance management, partner development, and process design, and I focus on coaching leaders, optimizing operations, and achieving sustainable top-line growth.
