About

I build product marketing functions that turn complex technology into market movements. Over 13 years, I've built GTM strategies from zero across AI, SaaS, and FinTech—transforming how companies position products, enable sales teams, and drive measurable revenue growth. THE IMPACT: → Built marketing function from scratch at AI startup (acquired by Peak Technologies), establishing GTM frameworks that became company-wide standards → $100M+ in measured revenue impact across AI analytics and payments infrastructure → 10X improvement in deal close rates through strategic positioning and sales enablement → Strategic partnerships with Intel, NVIDIA, Google, Lenovo driving enterprise adoption → Trained 130+ sales leaders across 3 regions on product positioning and competitive strategy At Peak Technologies (formerly Siena Analytics), I was founding PMM when we were transitioning from pilot customers to enterprise adoption. The challenge wasn't just launching products—it was defining what product marketing meant for an AI analytics platform competing against legacy supply chain tools. I built competitive intelligence frameworks, sales enablement playbooks, and messaging strategies that didn't just support launches—they became the template for how the company went to market. The result: $100M+ net new revenue, 18% ARR growth, and enterprise customers like Walmart and FedEx. At Innoviti, I drove payments infrastructure GTM during India's digital payments revolution. We weren't selling features—we were selling transformation. By positioning around total cost of payments (not just MDR), we secured 18 of India's top 20 retailers including Reliance, Tanishq, and Shoppers Stop. $12M ARR. MY APPROACH: Strategic Positioning Over Feature Marketing - I focus on category creation and phase-shift thinking, not incremental improvements Cross-Functional Leadership - Product marketing sits at the intersection of product, sales, marketing, and customer success. I align these teams around shared goals Data-Driven Storytelling - I combine quantitative analysis with compelling narratives that resonate with technical buyers and C-suite executives Building for Scale - From competitive battle cards to sales training programs to content strategies, I create frameworks that outlast any single campaign Industries: B2B SaaS, AI/ML, FinTech, Enterprise Software, Payments Roles: Senior Product Marketing Manager, Director of Product Marketing Let's connect if you're building something that requires translating complexity into market impact.
