What I'm looking for

I’m seeking Senior PM, Principal PM, or Fractional CPO roles at AI-first organisations globally—where I can own AI/ML product strategy, trust & safety architecture, and go-to-market execution, delivering measurable outcomes with strong cross-functional leadership.

I’m a results-driven Senior Product Manager and Fractional CPO with 14+ years of experience delivering AI/ML-powered products, enterprise platform strategy, and zero-to-one development across automotive engineering, SaaS, fintech, and consumer marketplaces. I translate LLM orchestration, agent frameworks, predictive analytics, and model evaluation systems into customer-centric roadmaps that engineering teams can execute and customers can adopt.

I’ve shipped outcomes that matter—reducing physical validation cycles by 30% through AI integration at Mercedes-Benz R&D India, leading 20+ globally distributed engineers, and cutting PM documentation time by 60% with LLM-powered tooling. I also co-founded Mentyours.com, building a trust-first mentorship marketplace where I designed trust & safety architecture to achieve zero critical trust incidents post-launch.
