About

An ex-entrepreneur and product leader with 16+ years in AI, SaaS, and Fintech B2B products across the US, UK, France, and India. I’ve worked at both ends of the spectrum — scaling enterprise platforms globally and leading zero-to-one ventures from idea to profitability. I believe product and GTM are inseparable — one without the other rarely wins. That belief has shaped my work: scaling Sage Network from a niche post-acquisition product into a multi-market platform deeply entrenched in the Sage ecosystem, growing Kristal’s B2B WealthTech product 4×, and helping iMerit expand from 20 to 500 people with its first multi-million Dollars revenue. On the 0→1 side, I’ve driven PMF at Flowpad, scaled Wealthy’s B2B platform to 30k+ users, and founded and scaled Wazzeer, a legal-tech startup, to profitability. I love building products that challenge the status quo — the kind that make Monday mornings feel as exciting as Friday evenings!
