About

🚀 Building and Leading Global Sales Engines in Fintech! Fintech leader with a proven track record of building and scaling outbound sales teams, owning pipeline creation, and driving end-to-end deal execution across global markets. I operate across regions and time zones, aligning sales motions with local market dynamics while maintaining a consistent, high-performance revenue engine. I specialize in deep merchant problem-solving, working closely with businesses to identify gaps in payment success rates, conversion funnels, cost structures, and reconciliation workflows, and translating these into tailored, API-led solutions that directly impact growth and efficiency. My approach goes beyond selling products. I focus on solutioning. Whether it’s optimizing payment routing, enabling seamless integrations, or designing data-driven engagement strategies, I work cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to deliver what merchants actually need, not just what exists. I have contributed to scaling high-volume payment ecosystems, including the nationwide rollout of BHIM UPI, and have consistently built strong partnerships with banks, gateways, and enterprise clients to unlock new growth channels. I lead with a clear mandate to build high quality pipeline, coach teams to close complex deals, and create scalable, repeatable sales motions that drive long-term market expansion
