A Leader with 13+ years of experience in Business Development, Partnerships and Alliances, Strategy and Technology Consulting.

I am currently working at DigitalOcean, one of the fastest growing Cloud providers in the world, that is building a Developer Cloud platform that startups and midsize businesses love. I head the Sales and Go-to-Market efforts for APAC. Previously, I was responsible for Global partnerships for our startup program, Hatch and worked closely with Accelerators, VC firms and government bodies to build strategic partnerships for DO.

Earlier I worked at Kyron, where I was involved in building a Marketplace for Enterprise Innovation and Digital Transformation. I headed Business Development and Partnerships and worked closely with CXO's of Fortune 500 companies to help them with their Digital transformation journeys by building Corporate Acceleration and Innovation programs to engage with global enterprise startups.

Previously, I worked as a Technical Partner Manager in NetApp, where I led the partner program strategy and enablement efforts for India Channels and pathways. The most exciting part of the role was working with some of the top VARs, Distributors, RSI, GSI and Cloud Service partners and also building a strong ecosystem of partners and alliances to support our customers.

In my earlier roles in NetApp, I have been a Solutions Consultant for the broad portfolio of products and solutions from NetApp and have worked on critical IT projects for some of the top enterprise customers in India including Yahoo!, Infosys, Wipro, HCL and TCL.

I count Partnerships, Enterprise selling, Business development, Marketing and Pre-sales among some of my key skills. With an interest in understanding the start-up space, I completed the Stanford Ignite program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in 2014 and have been an active member of the startup ecosystem.
