What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-focused role in ad sales or partnerships where I can scale revenue, lead cross-functional teams, and build long-term advertiser relationships in a collaborative, data-driven culture.

I am a business development and ad sales professional with 7+ years of experience building revenue through brand partnerships, agency onboarding, and media monetization across India, SEA, LATAM, and global markets.

I have a track record of negotiating high-value deals, scaling advertiser relationships, and launching integrated brand + performance solutions that drove multi-fold revenue growth and improved advertiser retention and LTV.

As a founder and senior sales leader, I built and led cross-functional teams, onboarding 100+ agencies and growing lead acquisition and ad monetization channels, delivering measurable improvements in CPA, retention, and pipeline value.

I work closely with product and leadership teams to align GTM strategy with commercial goals and use data-driven sales presentations and CRM tooling to forecast, optimize, and execute repeatable revenue outcomes.
