About

With over 19 years of experience across SaaS, Cloud, and Managed Services, I specialize in building and scaling high-performance Sales Development organizations that deliver measurable and predictable revenue impact. At Salesforce India, I led national SDR and BDR teams across SMB and Commercial segments, generating $100M+ in qualified pipeline over three years. My leadership has been defined by building organizations from the ground up—hiring, developing, and enabling 150+ SDRs/BDRs, with 30+ advancing into quota-carrying AE roles across multiple business units. I excel in designing data-driven, scalable GTM frameworks that align Sales and Marketing, accelerate pipeline velocity, and enhance conversion outcomes. My focus is on transforming Sales Development into a strategic growth engine—anchored in accountability, enablement, and continuous performance optimization.
