About

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been driven by an insatiable curiosity, with a perpetual habit of asking "why?" about everything I saw, heard, or experienced. That curiosity has evolved into a lifelong passion for learning, problem-solving, and leading with purpose. Today, it fuels my journey across engineering, product, and strategy, i.e., from launching cloud products at Nutanix to helping leading enterprise firms shape their AI and GenAI product strategies at BCG. With over seven years of product management experience, I blend deep technical expertise (cloud infrastructure, data/software engineering, AI/ML) with strong business acumen and strategic leadership. I’m passionate about building AI-native enterprise software that redefines how businesses operate. I thrive on scaling ideas from 0 to 1 ideas, solving complex challenges, and bridging technical depth with customer-centric GTM strategy. I enjoy working cross-functionally to turn bold ideas into scalable impact. Specialization: Product strategy, Data and Compute platforms, Growth and GTM strategy, AI/ML (Incl. LLMs and Foundation Models), Technical leadership
