About Me
A founder-at-heart with operating & investing experience in US & India, I'm currently based in sunny San Francisco. Just like SF, I bring data, humor, and a passion for the future to everything I do.
I measure my life by the positive impact I make, the number of lives I touch. I care about building a wider table and a kinder world. My core values are resilience, courage, loyalty, truth and service.
Professionally, I get intrinsic joy from building products and teams that reimagine the future. A data scientist turned product manager with an MBA, I add most value at the intersection of GTM, product, tech/data & influence without authority. A part-time angel investor, I foster a women in AI community, Sapienne.ai.
Outside of work, I enjoy sports, humor, puzzles & food. I write on my blog, substack and X. My talks are here. Codes here. Mentoring profile.
From AI commercialization to poetry, I write about life’s questions (big & small) with humor and wonder!
