What I'm looking for

I seek high-impact leadership roles in events or vendor operations where I can drive strategic sourcing, scale multi-city programs, optimize costs, and build high-performing cross-functional teams in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am an Event & Vendor Operations leader with 11+ years of experience transforming event portfolios into strategic business assets and delivering measurable cost savings and operational excellence.

I built enterprise-grade event governance and vendor ecosystems from the ground up at RSM India, scaling operations to manage ₹78.5Cr in programs, executing 37 national events with 98% on-time delivery and elevating NPS from 67 to 82.

Across prior roles I led end-to-end delivery for 450+ events, drove ₹16.4Cr+ in vendor-related cost savings, and implemented data-driven vendor scorecards, RFP/RFI frameworks, and agile operating models that reduced procurement cycles and incidents substantially.

I bring deep expertise in large-scale MICE, hybrid event technology (Cvent, Webex), strategic sourcing, P&L stewardship, and cross-functional leadership, and I seek high-impact opportunities to apply strategic vision and operational rigor to deliver top-tier event experiences.
