About

Professional summary

I am a senior digital marketing strategist and AdTech leader with more than 18 years of experience building growth strategies across digital advertising, product marketing, performance media, and AI-powered ecosystems.

I advise founders, CMOs, C-suite executives, and management teams on business strategy, product roadmaps, go-to-market planning, marketing transformation, and revenue growth. I translate complex market and technology opportunities into practical, measurable execution plans.

My core expertise includes programmatic advertising, performance marketing, telco-data targeting, native advertising, CTV/OTT, publisher monetisation, product marketing, and APAC market expansion. I have led cross-functional teams and strategic initiatives across India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and wider APAC markets.

I have built and scaled advertising ventures, owned P&L responsibility, developed product-market-fit strategies, and launched revenue-generating products. My work combines commercial strategy, customer segmentation, media intelligence, growth planning, and stakeholder management.

I am particularly focused on the strategic application of generative AI, agentic marketing automation, AI advertising intelligence, and Generative Engine Optimization. I develop frameworks that help organisations improve operational efficiency, media investment decisions, competitive intelligence, and AI-driven brand visibility.

I bring an entrepreneurial, data-driven, and leadership-oriented approach to solving business challenges. I am equally comfortable shaping board-level strategy, defining product concepts, negotiating partnerships, and driving hands-on execution with marketing, product, sales, and technology teams.
