About

I specialize in building high-ownership, high-output teams across geographies - from early-stage chaos to structured scale. My work sits at the heart of people and performance: designing culture, driving global hiring, and building systems that enable speed without sacrificing depth. I've led hiring across functions - tech, product, growth, operations, sales, and leadership and across markets like India, EMEA, APAC, and Europe. Whether it's assembling a founding GTM team in a new region or building an engineering org from scratch, I bring the same principles: 1. Hire for trajectory, not just pedigree 2. Move fast, but never lower the bar I thrive in ambiguity, prefer clarity over consensus, and obsess over finding people who take ownership personally. If you're building something ambitious and believe talent is your sharpest edge, we already have something in common.
