A visionary and transformative Product Development Strategist with ~17 years of experience in the domain of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM); I bring to the table, exceptional skills in accelerating business growth, establishing strategic product development frameworks, and solving regulatory challenges. While working with matrixed teams, I held P&L accountability and oversaw end-to-end management of new product development & launch, MIS & reporting, audit & compliance, revenue, and employee engagement. Over the span of my career, I gained in-depth, cross-functional exposure, particularly in the domain of financial services, banking & NBFCs. My forte lies in developing products while ensuring compliance with guidelines of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and other such agencies. Always in a problem-solving mode with a customer-centric mindset, I functioned as subject matter expert, setup call centers from grounds-up, provided strategic advisory, and significantly improved business metrics. On several occasions, I was handpicked to streamline systems & processes, lead technical transformations, turnaround business performance, and negotiate with diverse stakeholders to arrive at win-win scenarios. Six Sigma Green Belt Certified and a qualified MBA in Finance & Marketing, I believe in continually adding value to my professional skills and have therefore undertaken several professional development courses, the latest one being Certification in Product Management from Berkeley Executive Education. A focused leader, always inspiring teams to deliver outstanding results, I am not just satisfied with efforts, but believe in delivering end-result. Fond of listening to old melodies and reading books, I always aim to improve myself holistically. My skills and actions are underpinned by my belief in being a ‘Learner for Life’! I am looking to improve my networks, hoping to share knowledge and grow ideas into actionable initiatives.

Listed skills include Team Management, Marketing, Marketing Strategy, Sales Operations, and 14 others.
