MBA (Product Management, Business Analytics & Consulting | Minor in Data Science & AI) from MICA. I work at the intersection of consumer insight, data, and execution. At Omnicom Group, I translated audience and engagement data into influencer and brand strategies across FMCG categories, benchmarking 15+ brands and shaping market-specific positioning. I’ve built products grounded in 30+ user interviews, applied prioritisation frameworks to drive clarity, and collaborated across strategy, creative, and servicing teams to deliver integrated impact. With a foundation in operational rigor and a background in theatre-led storytelling, I bring structured thinking, ownership, and narrative sharpness to every problem I solve.
