## About

I’m a business generalist with experience spanning growth, operations, and product management\. My focus is on driving commercial outcomes by combining analytical rigour, user understanding, and cross\-functional execution\. In my most recent role, I worked closely with leadership to identify and solve problems in user activation and retention charters\. I defined performance metrics, tracked impact through dashboards, and collaborate with multiple teams to execute high impact solutions\. Prior to this I had a stint in product management where I led initiatives that improved user experience, reduced operational inefficiencies through data and research\-driven solves\. These experiences built my foundation in structured problem\-solving, stakeholder management, and outcome ownership\. I’m motivated by roles that sit at the crossroads of strategy and execution — where clarity of thinking, speed of decision\-making, and collaboration define success\. Focus areas: Growth strategy \| Program management \| Execution excellence \| Data\-driven storytelling \| User research & insights Values: Clarity \| Curiosity \| Accountability \| Collaboration Email: rishiulapu\.work@gmail\.com Phone: \+918757287772
