About

With over 15 years of experience as a business development professional, I specialize in sales, business development, relationship management, account management, people leadership, and revenue generation. My career has been defined by driving growth, building strong partnerships, and streamlining processes to deliver measurable impact. At Zippee, I introduced clear SOPs and CRM integration to enhance sales and account management, which enabled us to acquire 130 brands, achieve a 90% retention rate, and consistently deliver on 88% SLA adherence. At Mint Hotels, I successfully reduced OTA commission outflow by 20% and improved ARR by 10% through channel diversification, boosting direct bookings, and renegotiating with high-cost OTAs. I am known for my ability to navigate challenging business environments with resilience and adaptability, while maintaining a disciplined focus on results. Empathetic, goal-oriented, and people-focused, I strive to balance flexibility in approach with a strong commitment to outcomes. Guided by my core values of respect, balance, integrity, partnership, and excellence, I align seamlessly with organizational goals. My strengths in adaptability, curiosity, emotional intelligence, self-discipline, and strong work ethics enable me to consistently overcome challenges and deliver sustainable growth.
