About

With a strong focus on integrating technology and strategic storytelling, I currently lead a high-performing technical product marketing team at ServiceNow. Our expertise lies in crafting compelling narratives and positioning products to achieve strong market traction across diverse buyer personas. We also seamless collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive effective GTM strategies. Prior to ServiceNow, I established the Developer Marketing function at BrowserStack, where I refined my skills in developer engagement and targeted marketing strategies for technical audiences, building a thriving developer community. These experiences, combined with my leadership role at ServiceNow, highlight my passion for innovation and the ability to convey technical intricacies as distinct market differentiators. Before joining BrowserStack, I served as a Developer Evangelist at Akamai. My role involved creating developer tools, public speaking, building proof-of-concepts, sales enablement, and supporting high-stakes deals through developer-centric sales strategies. Earlier in my career, I led an 8-member iOS development team as a Technical Lead at Nuvizz, an innovative enterprise mobility startup ranked among Georgia's top startups. I also contributed to Salesforce as a developer, building mobile SDKs and enterprise applications such as the Digital Sales Aid platform. Beyond my professional endeavors, I founded and ran the iOS Developer Meetup Group in Bangalore, one of the largest iOS developer communities in India.
