About

I’m a seasoned product marketing executive with 18+ years of experience driving success in both high-growth start-ups and established tech giants. My journey began with an Economics undergrad and a sales role at a leading information security firm, just as the tech boom was taking off in India. Initially, I worried about my ability to grasp technology and collaborate with techies. However, I soon discovered my knack for blending common sense with a strategic understanding of how technology solves real-world problems and resonates with customers. This insight has allowed me to partner with exceptional marketers and play a pivotal role in scaling businesses. I'm passionate about crafting go-to-market strategies, launching products, and generating demand. My strengths include: • Go-to-Market Strategy • Corporate Strategy • Competitive & Market Analysis • Messaging, Positioning and Content Development • Demand Generation and Sales Enablement Fueled by passion and integrity, I’m also a strong writer and a constant learner, always eager to tackle new challenges and drive impactful results.
