Operations Leader | Marketplace & SaaS | Customer Success & Revenue Operations

About

I help organisations turn complexity into calm execution. With 10+ years in operations, I've built and scaled teams, processes, and cross-functional alignment across Vendor Operations, Customer Success, Collections, and Process Excellence — delivering measurable outcomes at scale. Most recently as Country Operations Manager at The Knot Worldwide, I improved CSAT from 50% to 90%, drove collections efficiency from 70% to 95%, and led a 20-member team while partnering with stakeholders across India, the US, LATAM, the UK, and Europe. My leadership style is grounded in clarity, accountability, and ownership. I'm rarely the loudest voice in the room, but often the one who helps teams align, make decisions, and move forward together. At the core of my work is people leadership. I've led teams through scale, change, and ambiguity — focusing on psychological safety, clear expectations, and continuous feedback — while partnering across product, sales, finance, tech, and leadership to translate intent into execution. I'm often described as a steady presence during change — someone who brings clarity in ambiguity and creates alignment without adding noise. I enjoy solving ambiguous problems and building repeatable operational engines that improve speed, quality, and customer experience — especially in environments that require structure without rigidity. Always open to meaningful conversations with leaders and teams building for scale and impact.
