Lead Program Manager at SolarWinds

## About

Senior Program Manager with 9 years of experience, including 6 years at Amazon, driving growth and improving digital experiences across ecommerce advertising, payments, and customer\-facing platforms\. I build and govern programmes at the intersection of commercial growth and customer experience\. At Amazon Advertising, I owned ₹2\.2B\+ in annual revenue with 57% YoY growth and 98% enterprise advertiser retention\. At Amazon Pay, I redesigned payment journeys across 35 categories, reducing cost per transaction by 26% and cutting fraud resolution time from seven days to twenty\-four hours\. When Amazon launched Sponsored Display and Sponsored Video, I defined the GTM strategy, sequenced the market, trained the sales organisation, and designed the adoption framework\. Within one quarter, 72% of targeted advertisers had activated both formats, contributing 4\.3% of annual revenue\. The insight that has shaped how I work since\- new capability only creates value when you build the adoption infrastructure alongside the product\. I translate VOC and transaction data into prioritisation decisions, not just reports, then build the mechanisms to execute at scale\. I connect three things: commercial strategy, programme governance, and customer signal\.
