    I am a multidisciplinary designer with a curious mind, I enjoy to meet new people and understand how they are solving problems, this is one of the reasons why I invest my time on meetups from product management to everything related to design (research, design thinking, design system, etc.) and talking to people in general, as always can be an opportunity to learn something new. I see it as a chance to improve myself as a professional and put things in practice when I’m creating my solutions. I’ve worked on a diverse set of projects, working from research to production, that include iOS, Android, web, B2B, B2C, user research, data visualization, art direction and marketing design. In all projects, I seek to simplify the relationship between people and the interactive products they use, taking into consideration business goals and technological constraints. I am self-aware of the impact our solutions have on people's lives, and this is the reason why I always give my best to create a seamless and delightful experience.

    • Product Management

    I'm a senior product and customer experience executive — 18 years building products and platforms that change how millions of customers interact with the companies they rely on. Most recently, as Vice President at Citigroup, I led AI and personalization platforms supporting 12 million customers in the US Cards business — work that drove a 27% lift in engagement, $18M+ in incremental quarterly revenue, and a 14-point CSAT improvement, while strengthening governance and risk controls in a heavily regulated environment. This included deploying enterprise GenAI capabilities using Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT integrated with Citi's proprietary data and algorithms — across both customer-facing and employee-facing workflows — inside one of the most regulated financial environments in the world. I'm now focused on bringing this work into industries going through similar transformation — where AI-driven personalization, customer experience modernization, and data-driven operating models are reshaping how companies engage their customers and members. Both industries reward the kind of work I've already done at scale: regulated, customer-facing, AI-enabled platforms that deliver measurable business outcomes. Alongside this search, I advise early-stage and mid-market companies on product strategy, AI/CRM platforms, and operating model design. I also write Product Innovator's Corner, a LinkedIn newsletter on AI, product strategy, and modern management practices, and have led a 35,000-member global community for management and product professionals since 2009.

    Hi There, I am a graphic designer born & raised in Rajasthan and currently living in Gurgaon. I've been in love with design since my first MS Paint drawing. No, seriously! It's been a great path growing up & now being a creative lead at Camp K12, an ed-tech startup. Before CampK12, I worked with AdGlobal360 an award-winning advertising agency, and Adda52 an online poker gaming platform. An interesting highlight of my experience is that I ran "Social Cutlet" for about 3.5 years and we started our journey from a humble PG room to a productive office with a small team. We learned a lot about entrepreneurship, design, marketing, user journeys, and team building. We started out as a general digital company and evolved into a company focusing on lead generation and business growth through online advertising and content marketing. We worked with over 60+ clients from 6 countries. Where I have had the privilege of working with a variety of brands in industries like Advertising, e-Commerce, Online Gaming, Real Estate, Finance, FMCG, FMCD, Education, Healthcare, and more.
