About

I clock 100 meters in 11.2 seconds. I have suffered a concussion on a Rugby pitch. Even worse on the Cricket pitch. Competitive spirit runs through my veins. As you can tell, being a sales & marketing professional, I don’t like to lose, neither do I like to see my customers lose. I stand 6 feet 7 inches in length. Over the last 13 years, I have worked with 4 market leaders in CDN, GRC, DAP and now WMS. Reach me at rrao@rippling.com
