About

My passion lies in curating unforgettable experiences that connect people around the world. With 25 plus years in travel and tourism, I'm now building sports experiences – one of the fastest growing segments of the Travel industry. Currently, I'm leading DreamSetGo, and furthering its vision to bring fans closer to their favourite sport through tailor-made, luxury travel experiences. The synergy between luxury travel, hospitality, and sports experiences present significant opportunities for innovation and I'm excited to be at the helm of this effort. Previously, I was leading the Leisure Holidays Business at SOTC Travel Limited (Thomas Cook Group). Along with strategic growth for the brand in India and beyond, I drove sales volumes, built distribution across markets, led-high performance teams, and managed key stakeholder relationships.
