About

Senior Product Manager with 13+ years building API-first, enterprise SaaS platforms — from 0-to-1 product launches to scaled partner ecosystems. At iCIMS, I own the API integration strategy connecting the platform to global HRTech partners including LinkedIn, Microsoft, ADP, and Indeed. What I've driven: • Launched a self-serve integration platform, cutting customer activation time from days to under 10 minutes and reducing service dependency 80% • Delivered $2M+ in first-quarter revenue through a new Candidate Application Workflow Builder, lifting engagement 35% • Cut integration issues 30% by redesigning API lifecycle governance across 10+ enterprise partnerships • Built iCIMS's India Product organization from the ground up — hiring and mentoring the founding PM and engineering team I work at the intersection of product strategy, REST API architecture, and GTM — translating partner and customer needs into roadmaps that align engineering, UX, and go-to-market teams. Background spans enterprise SaaS, fintech data platforms, and B2B integrations, with hands-on depth in Agile/Scrum delivery, developer experience, and cross-functional stakeholder management.
