About

I have an experience of 10+ years across multiple roles of Sales, BD & Marketing in Enterprise Technology (IT Services, Digital/ Products & Analytics), and founding a D2C Organic Grocery Brand In my years of working in B2B Tech, I have had the opportunity of working both for an IT Services giant viz. HCL Tech as well as for a Series-A Funded Startup. As an entrepreneur, I led Strategy, Finance, Operations, & Systems for a D2C Organic Grocery Brand In my last role, I led Sales (New Business) and Customer Success (Account Management) Globally for CPG, F&B, and Process Manufacturing Verticals for a leading IIOT led Digital Manufacturing SaaS company. I am very enthusiastic about helping businesses buy/ adopt tech and succeed through their buying decisions. I thoroughly enjoy and cherish the impact that a B2B Sales organization makes, not just to the top and bottom line of the organization it belongs to, but also to the customer organization it sells to.
