Gautam Sehgal — Head of Growth
I build the commercial propositions and partner ecosystems that power growth. As a strategic leader with 20 years of experience, I specialise in designing market-ready propositions, monetising digital ecosystems, and executing high-impact international partnerships across Financial Services, Trade, and SaaS platforms. Currently, I lead Growth Solutions for Santander Navigator, an industry-first digital platform supporting SME internationalisation. My focus is on taking digital products from concept to scale—defining value propositions, driving commercialisation, establishing governance, and orchestrating an ecosystem of 150+ partners across 25 markets. CORE COMPETENCIES Proposition Design & Monetisation: Building digital pathways that deliver non-linear growth, establishing scalable frameworks, and driving commercial outcomes. Ecosystem Strategy: Curating ecosystems and strategic alliances to drive shared value—achieving market access far beyond what any company can build alone. International Trade & FDI: Leading complex market entry strategies and trade development initiatives that secure high-value investment and unlock bilateral growth. Global Execution: Living and working across Asia and Europe has given me the cultural fluency to lead diverse teams and navigate complex international corridors. A GLANCE AT MY BACKGROUND Previously, I built Santander’s India corridor strategy before advancing to Head of Asia & Americas, where I managed a team of Corridor Directors. Prior to this, I led London & Partners' India operations, securing 50+ high-impact investment projects and founding the 'India Emerging 20' programme. Early in my career, I was one of the youngest Country Managers at Tata Motors, managing a $50M P&L. I am driven by the challenge of helping organisations scale with clarity, structure, and repeatable playbooks.
