I’m a Senior Product Leader with 18 years in tech—Last 5 years of scaling global travel platform that grew from $725M to $3B in bookings. Product lead systems that serve millions and still feel personal. My sweet spot? Bringing soul to scale. Whether it’s revamping digital journeys for Hyundai USA or designing eCommerce for Adastria Japan, I lead cross-functional teams to deliver experiences users love and businesses trust. I believe in clarity over chaos, shipping over perfection, and alignment over noise. I’ve built and led PM teams, driven roadmap strategy across investment banking and travel tech, and architected loyalty booking experiences for Fortune 500 ecosystems. I’m currently at JP Morgan, where I drive digital experience innovation at the intersection of fintech and customer loyalty. Highlights: • Scaled loyalty travel platforms from $725M → $3B revenue • Redesigned Hyundai USA’s Owner Portal with UX-led innovation • Created strategic frameworks for prioritization and delivery • Winner, Nexant Ideathon | Exec Education: IIM Kolkata
