About

I am a business operator at heart and love building technology enabled businesses and high-performing teams. I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the most successful entrepreneurs and operators and contributing to a diverse range of company-building journeys in different capacities - 🚀 Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of a Series A funded startup: scaled business from zero to $20M+ annual bookings run-rate in less than 3 years. 🌟 First employee and General Manager at a $650M funded startup: led the way to 100k+ delighted customers from a blank slate 🌆 Chief of Staff at a late-stage startup, whose acquisition by Walmart for $20B made headlines: crafted strategic blueprints to increase market share of a $5B e-commerce company  In each of these endeavors, I've enjoyed the art and science of identifying customer pain points, refining solutions rooted in core insights, and assembling teams of exceptional talent to fuel business expansion.  Outside work, you'll frequently find me on the squash court or in a CrossFit gym. I also love family walks with my wife and my two-year-old golden retriever, who always reminds us to savor life's small joys and find happiness in the everyday. Always down to chat about exciting businesses or about life/ business philosophy in general. Feel free to reach out at vaibhavchauhan001@gmail.com.
