About

I am a technology executive with 15 years of experience leading large-scale SaaS initiatives, driving AI transformation, and scaling engineering organisations across global markets. I currently oversee multiple product lines ( Live,App-live, Visual testing) along with AI and engineering productivity initiatives, while also leading the integration and growth of acquired businesses. My role spans aligning technology strategy with business goals, customer needs, and organisational scale. My career spans both corporate leadership and entrepreneurship. I co-founded a startup in the mobility and aggregation space, taking it from concept to adoption, which gave me hands-on experience in building products from the ground up and navigating growth challenges. I continue to work with early-stage companies as an advisor and consultant, supporting them on technology, product, and business strategy. Highlights of my journey include: - Strong technical foundation with experience in scalable systems, distributed architectures, and high-availability platforms. - Leading $100M+ SaaS and consumer products, driving innovation from inception to global scale. - Developed and scaled products from scratch through 0→1 growth to million-dollar revenues within short timeframes - Proven track record in growth, monetization, subscriptions, payments, compliance, and customer lifecycle management. - Experience working closely with senior leadership and founders, shaping an entrepreneurial mindset applied to building next-generation products and strategies. - Leadership in post-acquisition integration, organisational scaling, and cross-functional collaboration. With experience spanning B2B and B2C ecosystems, entrepreneurship, and global product leadership, I combine technical depth, business-first decision-making, and organisational leadership. I am known for my ability to scale teams, influence stakeholders, and create repeatable systems that enable sustained product and business growth. Focus areas: AI-first product development, SaaS Product and business growth and monetization, engineering productivity, organisational scaling, startup advisory, and enterprise-grade technology delivery.
