About

With 15+ years of experience in Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Business Development across start-ups, mid-sized and large companies - I have a wide & a deep understanding of businesses across industries and business functions. I am seeking deep accountability roles for the long-term to put my experience to good use for business & personal success. Beyond work, I am a fitness & nutrition enthusiast, who is on a journey to explore breathwork & meditation and their impact & influence on human potential. On days when work is not demanding during the early hours, I love to spend time on workouts & meditation. A friend introduced me to Pickleball in 2024, and if I do not spend couple of hours a week playing – life feels a little empty. Wifey and I are parents to two girls who are growing up too fast. They notice my behavior and correct my every wrong move. I love to nurture them, and in-turn get re-nurtured by their pure souls. I love to talk to young professionals who are looking to build their careers, and guide them away from all pitfalls I & my associates went into. Strong situational analysis, simple & coherent communication are my strong skills, which I love to leverage to build trust, sell business, advise CEOs, enable collaboration and resolve conflicts. If any of the above sounds worth a chat, ping me!
