I’m a management psychologist by training and a strategic marketing + communications leader by practice. My academic grounding in psychology gave me a deep understanding of how people think, behave, and respond to power, pressure, and context at work. My entry into brand and marketing was unplanned—shaped by curiosity and circumstance—but it quickly became the perfect fit. I found I could apply behavioural insights and systems thinking to help brands and leaders communicate with clarity, structure, and authenticity. Over the years, I’ve led brand and marketing mandates, built and managed teams, partnered closely with founders and senior leaders, and delivered high-stakes internal and external messaging across industries. I’ve built and shaped branded properties, corporate communications and strategic marketing initiatives in close consultation with senior executives of organisations such as Zomato, Harappa (now part of upGrad Enterprise), and Pearson. My work spans industries including education, food, think tanks, manufacturing, agriculture, and BPO. In my last full time role, I was CMO for a family office, spearheading marketing and communications for all the businesses in their portfolio. Alongside the work, I’ve seen the less glamorous side of professional life up close: unclear expectations, difficult workplace dynamics, poor communication, and cultures that exhaust capable people. I’ve experienced it too. And I’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—how critical boundaries, prioritisation, and honest communication are to building a sustainable career. Today, I bring that mix of psychological insight, leadership-level communications experience, and lived workplace reality into my advisory work. I support professionals who want to communicate better, make clearer decisions, and regain a sense of control over how they work. I also work with founders and leaders who want to build teams, marketing functions, and cultures with intention rather than guesswork. I’m not big on jargon, performative productivity, or one-size-fits-all advice. I value clarity, structure, and work that actually moves things forward. Strong organisations are built on strong internal communication, sound judgement, and humane ways of working—and I try to advocate for all three in everything I do.
