About

Professional summary

I am a programmatic strategy professional with more than seven years of experience translating commercial objectives into audience, channel, buying, measurement, and optimisation plans.

I have led full-funnel programmatic campaigns across display, video, native, CTV, and DOOH, supporting international portfolios across APAC, the US, Pacific, and EMEA markets.

I connect campaign data, auction insights, audience signals, and business KPIs to practical testing frameworks, trading actions, and growth recommendations. My work includes ROAS, CPA, NGR, churn, revenue, and budget-growth analysis.

I have managed advertiser and agency relationships, supported RFPs and pitch processes, and identified retention, upsell, and cross-sell opportunities. I secured programmatic pitch wins totalling INR 1.6 crore and contributed to substantial managed-service revenue growth.

I also mentor trading teams, develop playbooks, and collaborate with technical stakeholders on reporting dashboards and workflow automation. I use AI-assisted tools responsibly to accelerate analysis and campaign narratives while retaining human oversight.

I am currently working remotely as an independent digital marketing consultant, advising startup brands on programmatic enablement, go-to-market planning, creative testing, and cross-channel growth.
