About

Senior General Management leader with extensive experience owning regional and global P&L, driving commercial growth, and leading multisite, customer-facing operations across travel, aviation, and services businesses. I specialise in roles that combine hands-on sales leadership with operational execution, translating strategy into measurable revenue, profitability, and customer retention. I currently lead a multi-country business across the USA, UK, India and Singapore, with full accountability for revenue growth, cost control, EBITDA and service performance. I operate in environments that require both fast-cycle transactional sales execution and complex commercial deal management, combining outbound business development with hands-on operational oversight. I bring an operating mindset well-suited to founder-led and investor-backed businesses, with experience scaling multi-location operations, improving EBITDA, and strengthening governance across regions. My experience includes: • Regional and global P&L ownership • Multisite sales and operations leadership • Outbound and enterprise sales execution • Customer experience, service quality, and retention in customer-facing environments • Scaling teams and operations during growth, transformation, and turnaround phases • Building performance-driven cultures while elevating customer experiences across markets I enjoy building and scaling businesses—strengthening revenue engines, improving operational discipline, introducing the right technology, launching new lines of business, and enhancing customer journeys end to end.
