What I'm looking for

I seek senior product or engineering leadership roles in high-growth SaaS or commerce/marketing-tech firms where I can drive monetization, AI-driven efficiency, and scalable teams.

I am a product and engineering leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling profitable, investor-backed technology businesses, including founding and exiting companies in e-commerce and SaaS.

I have led global Product, Engineering, and Design organizations across India and North America, delivering monetization, platform scale, and operationalized AI to accelerate experimentation, decision velocity, and productivity.

As a founder and former CEO I built CommerceUp from 0→1, grew teams, and delivered a successful acquisition; I align technical strategy with business metrics like CAC efficiency, retention, and monetization expansion.

I hire and mentor high-performing teams, establish engineering best practices, and partner closely with Sales and Growth to ensure product investments translate into measurable revenue outcomes.
