I take early-stage consumer products from zero to demand-backed. At Posha, I built the go-to-market for a cooking robot in a category that didn't exist yet, taking it from a 300-person list to a $1M preorder book that helped close an $8M Series A. That meant defining the positioning, building the community, and running the funnel, not just one piece of it. Most recently, I built the Chief of Staff function from scratch for a Group CEO in Dubai. I turned multi-day decisions into multi-hour ones by building decision-ready briefs and AI-driven research workflows, and got enterprise AI adoption moving again across 100+ employees in 3 countries. Engineering background, Global MBA across Singapore and Dubai, and a habit of picking up high-ambiguity work (I've also run LED operations for live IPL matches and rebuilt customer experience for a restaurant) because range compounds. I'm at my best owning a launch end to end, in a founder-led environment where positioning, growth, and execution sit with the same person. Currently looking at Product Marketing, Growth, Brand, and GTM Strategy roles in consumer tech, SaaS, and AI-first companies.

Drove sustained adoption of enterprise AI (WPP Open) across 100+ employees in 3 geographies through gamified challenges, cohort-based learning, and a role-based tool-allowance model matched to each function's actual workflow. **Role concluded early as the regional conflict escalated into direct strikes on the UAE; returned to India.
