About

My career has evolved across two worlds that rarely meet process engineering and commercial ownership and that intersection is exactly where I deliver the most value. I started in engineering designing and operating lab-scale reactor systems, optimising waste-derived materials, and analysing catalyst performance using XRD, SEM, FTIR and GC-MS. During my MSc in Chemical Engineering, I worked on steel slag catalyst optimisation and bioenergy systems, later securing a patent-granted rapid composting process that transitioned from lab validation to live commercial deployment. But I quickly realised something important: Technical excellence alone doesn’t scale impact. Processes don’t succeed without people, systems, and commercial alignment. That insight led me into B2B account management within the energy sector where I now own enterprise relationships end-to-end: 📈 Onboarding and defining qualification standards 📈 Negotiating commercial terms (price-per-lead, volume agreements) 📈 Coordinating cross-functional teams across sales, design, legal and operations 📈 Improving CRM workflows and operational transparency Measurable Commercial Impact: 📈Reduced customer cancellations by 30% within 3 months 📈Managed and optimised B2B partner performance across the full lifecycle 📈Strengthened onboarding processes to protect revenue and improve retention Technical Skills: 🧪Process optimisation & reactor systems 🧪Waste valorisation & sustainability engineering 🧪Industrial decarbonisation & energy systems 🧪MATLAB | COMSOL | CRM | AutoCAD What differentiates me is systems thinking. I understand: 🧪 How a catalyst deactivates under thermal stress 📈 How a poorly structured onboarding process destroys revenue 📊 And how small inefficiencies compound technically or commercially Today, I’m focused on roles where engineering rigour meets commercial accountability particularly in energy, climate-tech, sustainability, and industrial innovation environments. If you’re building scalable, technically complex solutions and need someone who can bridge engineering precision with commercial execution, let’s connect. 📩 ajinkyadharaskar5@gmail.com
