What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-moving role where I can own brand strategy and go-to-market execution end-to-end—turning product, suppliers, packaging, and channels into growth with P&L accountability and strong cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a results-driven brand and business professional with 5+ years of cross-industry experience across FMCG, EdTech, and healthcare. I built Perigee Professional—from concept to market—owning everything from product formulation and vendor negotiation to packaging, distribution strategy, and retail launch.

I bring financial rigour from 2+ years in finance operations at BYJU’S and brand-building expertise from Brand & Product Management certification (University of London). I thrive in fast-moving environments where strategy meets execution, combining go-to-market planning, channel growth, P&L accountability, and tight cross-functional coordination.
