About

I am an experienced product engineering leader and an entrepreneur. Under my tenure I have created and launched multiple products and initiatives. I have also successfully scaled existing products in multiple companies. I have held many senior management positions for top organizations. I founded and was CEO of CipherGraph Networks which was an early mover in cloud computing. I have created product engineering orgs several times in my career, across India and US. Recently, I have been site lead for a few larger companies and have setup entire orgs in a new location from scratch. I have also managed strategic relationships with partners and customers at these companies. FinTech, Ad Tech, Cloud Computing, Enterprise Networking and Security are my usual fields of interest. I was Founder & CEO for CipherGraph for several years (HQ in SF Bay Area) with customers across US and EU. We raised VC funding for the startup in Palo Alto.
