About

For 13 years I've helped companies decide what they stand for, who they're for, and how to reach those people.

My work sits where strategy, brand and growth meet. I've written go-to-market plans for new markets, shaped and rebuilt brands, created flagship events for CXOs, and built the marketing teams and systems that turn all of it into revenue. I've led marketing at a digital agency I helped grow to 60+ people, at Perfios in B2B fintech, and at an AI health platform selling across India, the GCC and North America.

Marketing only works when the business behind it works, so I've always built the operations too: setting up CRMs so sales and marketing see the same pipeline, writing SOPs and review rhythms that teams actually follow, and running operations teams early in my career.

Today I lead marketing and growth at Brynd Media, working directly with founders. I do my best work in a founding or leadership team that needs one person who can set the strategy, shape the brand, fix the operations and stay close enough to the work to know what's really happening.

How I'm wired

The person for the gaps.

Every growing company has gaps between marketing, sales, product and operations. That's where I do my best work.

I solve the real problem.

When numbers dip, I don't just add budget. I find what's actually broken, whether that's the message, the funnel, the follow-up or the team, and fix that first.

I keep learning.

Channels, tools and buyers change every year. I keep upgrading myself, from new platforms and AI tools to new industries, so the company never runs on last year's playbook.

I make things run smoothly.

CRMs sales teams actually use, SOPs people follow, and weekly rhythms that catch problems early, so nothing falls through the cracks.

I step in wherever I'm needed.

Marketing one week, operations the next, hiring the week after. If there's a gap, I fill it.

How I work

My first 90 days.

How I would spend my first three months after joining your team.

01Listen and diagnoseWeeks 1–2

Audit the brand, positioning, funnel and numbers. Talk to customers, sales and the founders. Find the one constraint that matters most.

02Set the strategyWeeks 3–4

Sharpen the positioning and brand story, choose the two or three channels that fit, and agree on the one number everyone will track.

03Build and launchMonth 2

Campaigns, content, events and the tracking behind them, launched and reviewed every week.

04Scale and hand overMonth 3 onward

Double down on what works, hire and coach the team, and put the CRM, SOPs and playbooks in place so it runs without me in every meeting.

13 years of building brands and growth.

From running operations teams to leading marketing for venture-backed and founder-led companies.
