About

I work at the intersection of strategy, consumer behaviour, and digital growth, helping brands build experiences that customers want to return to. Over the past 9+ years, I’ve worked across eCommerce, D2C, and luxury retail, leading initiatives in CRM, retention, loyalty, onsite merchandising, and growth strategy. My focus has always been to turn insights into actions that improve repeat purchase, engagement, and long-term customer value. 📈 A big part of my work involves understanding why customers stay, return, or drop off and using those insights to design lifecycle journeys that genuinely move the needle. I enjoy simplifying funnels, creating structured frameworks, and partnering with product, category, and business teams to make them real. Core strengths I’ve built over the years: • CRM & retention strategy • Loyalty program design • Lifecycle and funnel optimisation • P&L-linked growth ownership • Experimentation (A/B tests, cohorts, funnels) • Consumer insights & behavioural understanding • Cross-functional alignment & execution Beyond work, I enjoy simplifying career growth for others. I’ve recently started sharing career tips, interview preparation insights, and CV optimisation guidance on Instagram. If any of this resonates and you want to chat about CRM, retention, D2C, careers, or just life, feel free to connect with me on Instagram: @careeewithPuja.
