I am passionate about helping B2B SaaS products and founders with growth by unlocking new markets and personas using Product-led growth. I have over 12+ years of esoteric experience across building & launching tech products playing different roles (product development, technology strategy consulting, and product marketing) across various industries (financial services, B2B technology, and EdTech).
I love working bringing transformative value to consumers of different backgrounds using B2B SaaS products. My experience working across different roles helps me empathize and work with cross-functional partners in large organizations to drive effective go-to-market strategies and launch products.
