About

As a cross-functional professional with 5+ years of experience in Business Analysis, IT consulting, and market research, I specialize in delivering value at the intersection of technology, data, and strategy. My career spans complex digital transformation projects—ranging from blockchain-based fintech platforms to high-impact B2B SaaS products—where I’ve led requirement gathering, feature road mapping, sprint planning, and stakeholder communication across global teams. I hold certifications in Artificial Intelligence from IIT-Madras, and Business Analytics from IIM-Calcutta, and am a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). This diverse toolkit enables me to transition seamlessly between technical discussions and business outcomes, whether in product design, pre-sales strategy, or executive-level analytics. 🔍 What I’m exploring next: - Product Manager / Product Owner roles in fintech, SaaS, or AI-driven platforms - Strategic Program Management / BizOps roles supporting high-growth initiatives - PreSales / Solution Consultant roles with global or GCC clients 🌍 Open to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, UK, and remote-first leadership opportunities. Let’s connect if you’re building something bold and need someone who blends business clarity with technical depth.
