About
With over 7 years of experience, 5 years as a Chief of Staff to global banking and insurance leaders at Genpact, I have had a unique vantage point in strategy & operations at a large ($ 6 B+ market cap) global professional services/consulting organisation. Have a proven track record of working with C-suite executives and delivering complex projects under tight deadlines. Some of the key highlights of this time have been diverse, in both nature of work and teams I collaborated with, including: leading investment cycles from research to execution vis-a-vis industry mapping, sourcing, profiling to due-diligence for the fin/insurtech sector within UK/US markets, spearheading the development of an end-to-end partnership and go-to-market strategy for the Insurance vertical; leading the project management of a buy-side M&A due diligence and a product implementation to drive operational enhancements in the banking sector. My work has fueled my passion for staying ahead in data products, data science, AI, and ML. In addition to my corporate background, I played a pivotal role in an early-stage data science startup. I worked on developing the GTM strategy and business development to launch a new product pan-India, signed $250K revenue for the new business in 6 months, built fundraising pitches and program proposals for government & private partnerships. Most recently, I earned my MBA from INSEAD, with a strong academic emphasis on finance, including corporate finance, restructuring, and private equity. I dedicated a summer in Kenya to research on the Climate and AgTech sectors within Africa profiling and learning from startups and VCs in the region, gaining insights into supply-chain innovations happening across the agricultural value chain. Post MBA' I've worked with VCs in the MENA region and with a private credit fund focussed on Fintechs in emerging markets.
