About

Hello, Iโ€™m Koushik, a result-oriented, value-driven product leader with 12+ years across product and services. I deliver high-quality software in B2B SaaS product development, cloud migrations and ERP transformations. I have worked with globally distributed teams, program managers, sponsors, and product leaders. With deep SDLC expertise and 8+ years in client-facing leadership, I blend technical and business acumen to turn strategy into predictable delivery and implement practical process improvements. In other words: if a program has lots of moving parts, I keep them well-oiled. As a Product Owner and Design Thinking practitioner, I run the full product lifecycleb from discovery, PRDs, and roadmaps to delivery and adoption. Data guides my decisions; simple operating mechanisms keep pace. Iโ€™m at ease in dealing with executives, engineers, and UI/UX from different cultural backgrounds. A few wins Iโ€™m proud of: โ˜… ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜-๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐˜๐—ต ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—–๐˜†๐˜๐—ฒ๐—นโ€™๐˜€ ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ & ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜. โ˜… ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜ ๐——๐˜†๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฃ ๐—ฆ/๐Ÿฐ๐—›๐—”๐—ก๐—” ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป; ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ~$๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐—  ๐—จ๐—ฆ๐—— ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ (๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ). โ˜… ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐——๐—Ÿ๐—– ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฃ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€; ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—”๐—ด๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ%. โ˜… ๐——๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ~๐—”๐—จ๐—— $๐Ÿฑ๐—  ๐—ข๐—ฃ๐—˜๐—ซ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ. โ˜… ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐Ÿฐ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐Ÿฎ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—จ๐—”๐—ง ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€. โ˜… ๐—ข๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด (๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ-๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜†๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€, ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜‚๐—ฝ/๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜-๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป) ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ฐ๐˜†๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐Ÿฒ.
