  • About me

    IIMA MBA and Chartered Accountant with experience in Strategy and Ops, GTM execution, Business Finance, IPO Consulting, and Deal Advisory. Proficient in guiding Fortune 500 companies and start-ups across Europe and Asia to overcome complex challenges with insightful solutions. Proven expertise in international stakeholder management and cross-functional leadership. Skilled in building and leading multicultural, agile teams for mission-critical projects. Currently working in the Founder’s Office at Open Financial Technologies, a fintech unicorn, leading 0-to-1 scale-up initiatives and driving data-led decision making for new product lines. They say you have choose between being a “numbers person” and a “creative”. I decided to be both. I create content around career, tech and investing for a community of over 120k across platforms. If you catch me outside of work, I'm an adventurous traveller - 30 countries and counting - and an avid trekker! I also enjoy exploring my creative side whenever possible. I founded artriso.com, an online store for hand-pressed concrete art and home decor (later pivoted to concrete and eco resin art supplies) I'm always looking to grow my personal and professional network.
