About

I'm an interim product lead and AC-accredited coach helping purpose-driven teams build products that matter, without burning out. My superpower: I help people and groups make sense of complex situations so they can move forward with clarity and confidence. I specialise in stepping into transitions (post-pivot, post-funding, mid-reorg) and creating the structure, clarity, and momentum teams need. I work as a product lead for early-stage startups or a senior PM for scale-ups, bringing both product operations expertise and coaching skills. I don't just set up systems, I help teams work better together while building them. My background: - 6+ years in product management across healthtech, mobility, B2B SaaS, and social impact - Co-founded Chezuba - built an online volunteering marketplace from 0→1, scaling to 100K+ users and facilitating 140K+ volunteering hours across 3800+ projects - As an Interim Product Lead, I helped Chezuba pivot to enterprise CSR, setting up scalable product operations and delivering to the first B2B customers - Interim PM at Alira Health (SaaS HealthTech) and WeShare (B2C mobility) - 500 Startups Alumni | TEDx Speaker | Accredited Coach - Lived and worked across India, Taiwan, China, and Europe How I can help: Product Management (Interim & Fractional) * Build product operations from 0→1: roadmaps, backlogs, discovery rituals, team workflows * Hands-on product discovery and delivery in complex environments * Coach teams through transitions (pivots, reorganisations, leadership changes) * Define and descope MVPs that ship on time in ambiguous situations * Bridge cross-functional teams (engineering, design, business, operations) Available for interim engagements (part-time or full-time) in purpose-driven companies. 1:1 Coaching (Personal & Professional Development) * Mid-career professionals navigating transitions and finding clarity * Product managers and first-time leaders building confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome * Founders and impact leaders recovering from burnout and establishing sustainable work patterns * Leadership development and authentic communication skills Let's connect if you're building something meaningful or navigating a transition - I’m here for the enriching conversations and the work that actually matters.
