I love to solve customer problems, either through incremental improvements or new product/service launches. I enjoy planning, creating, scaling and optimizing key business lines to accelerate growth. To accomplish this, I focus on delivering key outcomes, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new learnings. I never shy from the unknown; actually taking up new projects excites me the most! Over the past 12+ years, I have been fortunate to work in a mix of hyper growth start-ups and well established Fortune 500 MNC's. I have gained considerable expertise in Category Management, Marketing (esp. Online), Sales, Operations and Product Management. This has taught me the following about myself: 1) I can successfully scale-up businesses from 0 to 1 and further X to 10X - I believe in customer-centricity and the power of a virtuous cycle - I excel at the execution of big bets within given constraints - I have a strong bias for action and prioritize accordingly 2) I can align, lead and grow world-class teams from 10 to 100 - I enjoy interacting with a diverse set of people - I love to ensure that the team wins, and they know it - The buck always stops with me 3) I strive to be a better person, daily - I believe in versatility, thus I am constantly learning - I look to solve new problems through the first-principles approach - I focus on making the right decisions; but not afraid to improvise along the way When I am not working, I am usually spending time with my kids, reading what's new in the business world, improving my poker skills, playing badminton, watching war-documentaries, listening to classic rock/metal and drinking lots of coffee.
