About

Well rounded leadership experience at the intersection of financial services, business, product and technology. I know how to set up, run and scale product driven businesses in highly regulated industries - wealth management, broking and banking. Additionally I have had the privilege of leading technology driven change in both large global companies and startups. Lived and worked for 15 years in NY where I imbibed the New York spirit of never giving up, being effective, and constantly upping my game. Relocated to India in 2019 to be part of India's Fintech story at Paytm. Chief Business Officer at Paytm Money - built new products and revenue lines, established firm in the top 3 online distributors of direct Mutual Funds and market leader in the digital gold business. Prior to that, at Morgan Stanley US - drove the firm's transition to a digitally led wealth management model. That meant 1) Equipping financial advisors with actionable intelligence at the time of advice 2) Bring in assets held away under advice 3) Open a new customer channel via digital for acquisition and servicing. At Capgemini US - managed P&L book and built consulting practices at the intersection of financial services and technology.
