About

Professional summary

I am a performance marketing leader with over eight years of experience managing paid acquisition for e-commerce, SaaS, real estate, education, healthcare, and lead-generation brands. I specialize in Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, YouTube, and DV360 campaigns, with a strong focus on profitable growth rather than platform-reported vanity metrics.

I have managed more than $3.5M in paid-media spend and rebuilt underperforming SaaS portfolios using true Stripe revenue and CRM data. My work has improved ROAS from low or near-zero levels to peaks between 2.5x and 3.9x while helping leadership make disciplined budget and profitability decisions.

I am experienced in attribution architecture, including UTM standards, GCLID tracking, Enhanced Conversions, GA4, Google Tag Manager, and CRM-to-platform reconciliation. I use first-party revenue data to identify discrepancies, optimize campaigns at keyword and country level, and improve confidence in measurement.

I build practical automation and reporting systems using Google Apps Script, Google Ads API, Stripe data, Excel, and Google Sheets. My dashboards support daily decisions on CAC, ROAS, LTV:CAC, CPL, budget allocation, and scale-or-kill testing.

I have led teams of up to 15 people, created SOPs, delivered scenario-based optimization training, and worked directly with founders, CEOs, and C-level stakeholders. I value structured experimentation, clear communication, and making marketing investments accountable to business outcomes.

I am based in Hyderabad, India, and am available for remote roles with US-overlap hours. I am interested in performance marketing leadership opportunities where I can improve attribution, scale profitable paid acquisition, and develop high-performing teams.
