What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and strategic impact.

I am a data-oriented professional with a strong background in strategic planning and people management. My experience spans across various roles where I have thrived in fast-paced, metric-driven environments. I excel in analyzing data to extract actionable insights and executing strategies under aggressive timelines. My expertise includes 0 to 1 scaling, strategic decision-making, rapid experimentation, and team leadership.

Currently, as a Senior Program Manager at Country Delight, I conduct in-depth analyses to uncover insights and identify high-potential user cohorts for rapid experimentation. I have successfully led initiatives that mitigated seasonal slowdowns by 70% and developed an industry-leading WhatsApp commerce chatbot that achieved 95% automation. My previous role at Whitehat Jr involved complete ownership of a $500K monthly spend, where I optimized allocations to maximize ROI and drove significant incremental revenue through strategic recommendations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a knack for uncovering critical business loopholes and translating data into actionable insights, driving substantial impacts on revenue and user engagement. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to foster growth and innovation in dynamic environments.
