With more than 6 years of proven experience in closing deals across the US & EMEA markets for IT services and SaaS companies, I have proven experience in sales leadership, new business development and account management. I hold an MBA from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, where I specialised in international business and completed an exchange semester at IÉSEG School of Management in France. I am also an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, demonstrating my proficiency in cloud computing and its applications. Always eager to learn new skills and make new connections :)
