About

I’m a product leader building AI and GenAI products at global scale, from 0 to1 innovation to enterprise platforms used across 100+ markets. Currently, I lead global GenAI initiatives at Haleon, where I’ve built and scaled an AI Center of Excellence, led distributed teams across the UK, Poland, India etc and delivered production-grade AI products that drive real business impact(xx million pounds). My work spans enterprise AI assistants, consumer insights platforms, AI foundations, and innovation labs, balancing speed, scale, and responsible AI. With 12+ years across product, data, and AI, I’ve shipped B2C, B2B, and platform products in e-commerce, jobs, edtech, telecom, SaaS, and CPG, often in ambiguous, high-stakes environments. I’m deeply hands-on with strategy, operating models, and execution, while also investing heavily in building teams, enabling adoption, and creating leverage through reusable platforms. In parallel, I coach aspiring product managers at top colleges like IIM, LPU, MDI, and guide young working professionals, helping them build practical skills in product strategy, design, and execution. I’ve also created structured courses on product management, enabling learners to bridge theory and real-world application. What excites me most is turning emerging AI capabilities into products people actually use at scale, with measurable ROI. I enjoy mentoring teams, shaping product culture, and helping organizations move from AI experimentation to AI as a competitive advantage. 📍 Global teams | 🤖 GenAI & Data Platforms | 🚀 0→1 & scale Always happy to exchange notes on AI product strategy, operating models, or building teams that ship.
