About

Product and growth leader focused on building scalable platforms that improve acquisition, conversion, and retention at scale. I work at the intersection of product strategy, pricing, user experience, and data-driven growth. Currently leading Pricing Product at Expedia, driving global platform strategy across lodging and adjacent travel businesses. My work focuses on pricing optimization, cross-line-of-business integration, and aligning product investments with measurable business outcomes through analytics and experimentation. Previously, as Director of Product at Park+, I led growth and platform initiatives that doubled MAUs, improved conversion across key transaction journeys, and built loyalty-led retention systems across categories including mobility, insurance, and commerce. I also led initiatives in fraud detection, lifecycle engagement, and cross-category monetization. At Zomato, I worked across product, growth, and monetization — launching new categories, scaling user engagement, and contributing to advertising and partnership strategy that drove revenue expansion and stronger customer retention. My work is grounded in experimentation, platform thinking, and building cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, analytics, and business teams. I am particularly interested in AI-driven growth systems, pricing intelligence, and full-funnel product optimization. Core areas: Product Growth, Platform Strategy, Pricing & Monetization, Retention & Lifecycle, Experimentation, AI-enabled Decisioning, Marketplace Dynamics, Cross-category Expansion.
