About

Own the business product, multi-million-dollar investment strategy, and value realization for adidas’ global digital shelf and wholesale GTM platforms, enabling enterprise-scale digital revenue across marketplaces, WHS, and D2C. I am a business-facing Product Leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling digital commerce and Go-To-Market platforms that deliver measurable commercial outcomes — from faster market readiness and higher conversion to scalable partner activation across 300+ global accounts. At adidas, I define the global product vision, multi-year roadmap, and funding strategy for omnichannel GTM and digital shelf capabilities. Every adidas article you see live on a global wholesale partner PDP is powered by these platforms — from content readiness and assortment onboarding to pricing, order capture, and digital shelf performance. I operate at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and data, partnering with C-suite leaders across Sales, Marketing, eCommerce, and Finance to translate seasonal priorities into KPI-led product outcomes. This has delivered double-digit sell-out uplift through data-led PDP transformation and AI/ML-driven automation that eliminates thousands of manual hours while improving availability and consumer experience. Previously at Infosys Consulting, I advised Fortune 500 organizations on digital transformation, portfolio governance, and GTM strategy for new business models, and led the productization of enterprise platforms — strengthening my ability to connect strategy to execution and drive change at scale. Across my career, I have: • Built and led global cross-functional product organizations • Owned large platform ecosystems as the single business-facing leader • Scaled global adoption with clear value tracking • Rationalized vendor landscapes to improve speed, control, and cost efficiency • Implemented AI-led, data-driven product capabilities With a foundation in engineering and computer vision and an MBA from MDI Gurgaon, I bridge deep technology with business impact. I’m particularly passionate about AI-powered commerce, scalable platform products, data-led growth cultures, and building high-performing global teams — and I’m interested in opportunities to own large product portfolios, drive end-to-end commerce or GTM transformation, and build intelligent platforms that unlock new revenue streams.
