About

I'm an Account Executive at Cisco with a proven track record in being a trusted advisor to CXOs of customer organisations. Currently I work with Cisco's India and South Asia business helping drive Services Growth while helping our customers drive large scale business transformation. When I'm not spending time with organisations helping them solve their business challenges, I obsess over helping professionals communicate memorably using stories and data. As a passionate storyteller, I've delivered a TEDx Talk and many workshops on the subject for audiences across the globe. With a background in Engineering, Business, and Theater, I bring together diverse fields and operate at their intersection. I've spent a better part of my life on stage engaging audiences of all kinds, from hosting rock concerts to delivering workshops for business leaders. These days I do more of the latter.
