About

As a SaaS Sales & Customer Success professional, I bring experience driving business growth, building client relationships, and managing strategic sales initiatives across India, APAC, and global markets. After a fulfilling career break as a full-time parent, I am relaunching my career with purpose, combining my prior experience with new skills gained through the CCSM Level 1 & 2 certifications and the Rotman MBA Essentials program. During my career break, I stayed professionally engaged by working with startups in Sales and Business Development, supporting community initiatives through my child’s school council, and honing leadership, organizational, and client engagement skills. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in SaaS sales, customer success, and business growth to drive meaningful impact and contribute to high-performing teams.
