About

I work as a Product Manager at YouTube within Google for connected experience products (think casting, or getting people to open up their phone) for users watching YouTube on TV. I build products for billions of users by day, and also create content. I am passionate about democratizing access to career knowledge. I share actionable insights on AI tools and tech careers with a community of 300K+ professionals across LinkedIn and Instagram. My journey wasn't linear. From working as a Data Scientist in Switzerland and Malaysia to driving revenue at Apple and now shaping the Living Room experience at YouTube, I’ve learned that the best products—and careers—are built at the intersection of data and intuition. I combine a technical background (Masters in CS/AI) with strategic execution (Harvard MBA) to build products that scale. For Brands: I partner with select companies building AI tools / agents. Brownie points for AI tools that help impact careers. For Event Organizers: I speak on GenAI, Product Strategy, and How to Simplify AI. For Peers: Follow me for weekly breakdowns on navigating Big Tech. More details on my work: I bring experience managing complex stakeholder needs, translating strategy into execution to drive product growth, and building delightful products for 2B+ users. Previously, at Alpine Investors I drove 0-1 journeys for Gen AI products at the private equity firm and prior to that I was a product management intern on the Ads team at Apple, where me and my team drove a revenue gain of ~$xxM. Prior to Apple, I worked in the corporate strategy team at Hilti Group in Switzerland, a $6B B2B SaaS firm in the construction space, where I worked with the CEO and the Executive Board in crafting the firm's strategy in a data-driven manner. I was the first data scientist for the group and helped build and scale multiple customer-facing AI initiatives for the company such as Chatbots and Recommender Engines, leading to a revenue gain of $xxM. As a product manager and product owner, I led cross-functional teams across Europe and Asia to create innovative solutions that improved customer experience, increased online sales, and opened up new revenue streams. I hold a B.Tech and M.Tech in Computer Science from IIIT-B, with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
