    Large enterprises are being disrupted.Traditional consultancies are slow, bureaucratic and lack the entrepreneurialism to help clients break through the status quo. Therefore, incumbents remain vulnerable to disruption.We exist to help incumbents create disruption (not just respond to it). Our vision from day one remains the same. It very deliberately isn’t to be the biggest… it’s to be the best consultancy in the world. We are an award-winning firm of entrepreneurs (not typical consultants). The 34 awards to date recognize the quality and speed of our execution. In addition to recruiting talent from top universities, our experienced talent are former founders, intrapreneurs and operating executives.We operate a platform business comprised of premium boutiques. Our house of brands strategy delivers the intimacy and specialization of a boutique with the breadth and and scale of a large consulting firm.

    Wipro Digital, together with Designit, is your innovation-led, digital transformation partner. Wipro (our parent company) has invested over $2B in acquisitions, partnerships and start-up investments through our venture fund. Notable acquisitions include: Cooper (Strategic Design), Appirio (Cloud Services) and TopCoder (Upwork for Enterprises). The firm is undergoing a significant, yet positive culture change and a localization effort internally - while also driving new ways of working for our clients.As a practice head, I was head-hunted out of Gartner to build our digital transformation framework and consulting offerings, partnerships and go-to market strategy across all industry verticals. The digital transformation framework was adopted enterprise-wide and has been independently validated by industry analysts as differentiating.My work, in part, has positioned Wipro Digital in the leader quadrant as a digital services company. IDC, the analyst firm says, "Wipro Digital is becoming a trendsetter in how services companies of future are being built." Within the firm, I am a sought-after solution architect and business development leader for our largest and most complex deals ($100M +).Currently pioneering the "future of consulting" and design-led transformation approaches.

    Head Of Product | Chief Strategy Officer
    Snubstub Sep 2015 - Mar 2020
    Led initial MVP product development and product marketing efforts to acquire first 10, 100 and 1000 customers. Ran a series of "agile experiments" which resulted in a target market pivot and identification of our early adopter segment. Once that was clarified, I was able to perform customer development interviews and ethnographic observations to refine product features, pricing and marketing messages. All of the insights generated led to a few growth hacking tactics which leveraged existing platforms and relevant communities to accelerate our time to profitability. I also A/B tested cohorts for key metrics like LTV and CAC to optimize channel acquisition strategy across speed, cost, quality and conversion.-Continue to be an advisor to CEO
