Experienced product leader with a strong background in eCommerce.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned product and go-to-market leader with over 19 years of global experience in eCommerce, AI Assistants, Financial Services, and Entrepreneurship. My journey has taken me through various leadership roles, including my time at Amazon, where I led product management and go-to-market teams for Amazon Prime, Alexa, and Echo Devices. I have a proven track record of driving exponential growth through innovative product strategies and execution.
Throughout my career, I have successfully launched and scaled multiple products, including Amazon Echo and Alexa in India, which became market leaders in the smart speaker and voice assistant categories. My entrepreneurial spirit has led me to establish Next Commerce Technologies, where I experiment with emerging technologies to create scalable businesses. I am passionate about mentoring future product leaders and sharing my expertise in product management and strategy.
