About

As a Technical Management Professional with over 24+ years of experience, I specialize in Product Development and Management for Service Provider Routing. With over 13+ years in various Technical Leadership roles and 11 years as an individual contributor in software development, I am equipped to deliver software solutions of any size or complexity. I thrive on putting the customer at the center of all my endeavours and excel at executing big ideas within given constraints. My decision-making is data-driven, supported by a strong gut instinct. I am adept at leading and growing world-class product teams from 10 to 100 people, driving process improvements, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Throughout my career, I have managed multiple teams and delivered end-to-end product solutions across various functional areas, including software development, testing, project management, documentation, and architecture. My experience includes aligning roadmaps with customer account teams, product managers, architects, executives, and marketing. I have successfully planned, executed, and managed numerous NRE and non-NRE projects. My track record includes nurturing talent, building high-performing teams, and setting them up for success. I have also contributed to transformations between waterfall and agile methodologies. Having worked in startups, service companies, product companies, and startups within product companies, I bring a diverse perspective and a wealth of experience to any project or organization.
