About
I'm a B2B product marketing specialist who helps founders and marketing leaders attract and convert right-fit prospects into long-term customers. How? By making the company's offering crystal clear for prospects and running groundbreaking demand generation programs. These pieces are critical for sustainable growth. My track record speaks for me—I helped 2x'ed ARR for 2 products at Zoho, increased ARR by 5x in just 5 months at 100ms, and helped Privado 10x ARR in 20 months. Now, I'm tapping into this experience to help startups and scale-ups accelerate their growth through consulting and full-time roles. If you need support in areas like product messaging & positioning, thought leadership, or strategic guidance on your broader go-to-market strategy, I'm here to help. Experienced in the United States, Europe, and India markets.
