About

I’m a Marketing & Strategy professional with 4+ years of experience driving ROI-led digital initiatives, GTM strategy, and demand generation across global enterprises and fast-paced startups. At HCLTech, I lead vertical marketing for US Retail & CPG, delivering a $94M+ marketing-sourced pipeline, shaping the QSR micro-vertical GTM, and contributing to the Forrester Program of the Year 2024 by embedding GenAI into content operations. My work spans paid media, audience segmentation, ABM, omnichannel campaigns, funnel optimization, and analytics-led growth. I’ve worked with Google Ads, 6Sense, Influ2, Power BI, Eloqua & ZoomInfo to improve targeting, boost conversions, and accelerate sales opportunities. I’m driven by building marketing engines that scale, using data, experimentation, and structured strategy to turn insights into measurable business impact. Always open to connecting with professionals in growth, digital marketing, ABM, and performance strategy.
