I have been a mentor for 2-3 years and now an inadvertent life coach in the professional world with people approaching me on their own! This is also my way to give back to the community given all the mentors and coaches I was lucky to benefit from in my life. Many of us have found navigating the non-linear professional world a tricky maze. Amidst your journey, some thoughts you maybe pondering:- Identifying and personifying the type of successful leader you would like to be- The transferable skills or mental models you need shifting roles or domains- Building effective work habits in a competitive environment- Better cross-collaboration and communication with stakeholders- Simply being seen or making your presence feltThis is where a sounding board to collaborate with makes all the difference and I have been able to partner with many to unlock their potential and excitedly watch them be the people they want to be. These experiences inspired me to plunge into the world of coaching.With me as a CoachThe reins are actually in your hands! We would start out with a simple discussion to figure out the need and fit. And if we click, you will find yourself in a comfortable, confidential and conducive space to brainstorm on your goals and actually live them out. You set the agenda and we determine the destiny of them together. Think of me as an orchestra conductor, who will play the right interludes to allow you to shine light on all the answers that are already within you. Reach out if this resonates with you and we can take the leap together!

Director, Product Management (Last Position) Started out my product journey in 2016, from the basics to building and leading a team of product managers and product operations resources for research and development to meet our go-to-market strategy and value driven deployment for our customers.Worked my way up from bug management to becoming a PM learning the fundamentals of understanding use cases and user stories and learning to talk to engineers. Eventually this led to the opportunity of leading the product team in India. One of my key successes here was conceptualising and building a brand new platform aimed at accelerating the sales growth which we were able to do by 300%. The initiative also required driving a massive digital transformation across the company for migrating customers and internal stakeholders to adopt the new product and platform. Mental Models I developed to be successful -• Developing an understanding of go to market strategy, company objectives to translate them into OKRs and roadmap execution strategies.• Building a great collaboration relationship with strategic leaders in sales, operations, engineering and partners.• Identifying innovative PMs/product ops resources and getting out of their way while having their back.
