What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead marketplace operations with strong ownership, where I can build production-grade tooling, drive measurable ad-to-revenue performance, and scale launches through data-driven process automation.

I’m an e-commerce & marketplace operations leader with 10+ years managing marketplace performance, vendor operations, and performance marketing. I lead end-to-end Vendor Central operations across 6 Amazon marketplaces, supporting 12,000+ active SKUs.

I’ve built production-grade internal tools—like content health monitoring, organic rank tracking, buy box tracking, and grey market surveillance—that replace multiple SaaS subscriptions and deliver deeper custom analytics. At PopSockets, I also spearheaded India market entry with a full marketplace strategy and digital marketing playbook.

Previously, I managed $5.27M in annual ad spend across Amazon PPC/DSP, Google Ads, and Meta Ads, contributing to $21M+ revenue across 220 brands. I enjoy turning operational complexity into measurable systems—streamlining launches, improving listing accuracy, and reducing resolution time to under 24 hours.
