I'm an agile tech marketer. Seed stage, $1M, $10M, or $100M, I know how to get results.

Marketing is no longer a singular role for any brand that’s serious about continued growth.

We've transitioned from a role that largely delivers a message to drive sales to one that creates, nurtures, and transforms a brand’s image to achieve a wide variety of business objectives. Thus, marketers are increasingly assuming multifunctional responsibilities, ranging from meticulously crafting brand images to building teams and capabilities that can affect real results, to even troubleshooting for any challenges that crop up in due course.

Having a background in both tech and marketing has helped me straddle these responsibilities with relative ease. I get the ins and outs of technology and the universe of its practical outcomes. As I’ve watched the blurring lines around technology, engineering, sales, and marketing roles, I’ve had the opportunity to grow into a more flexible, well-rounded professional who’s as adept at building teams from scratch and mentoring them as I am at driving mature brands to achieve new growth.

2015

Progress Software

This stint started out when I was approached by the CEO of DataRPM, an AI startup, to work on two key mandates – redefining the company’s GTM strategy to position it as a market leader in AI, and to achieve a 10x spike in inbound leads. Capitalizing on and adapting my learnings at Dell EMC, I took to growth hacking – I transformed the company approach from outbound to inbound marketing, built a data-driven lead generation framework, and ran weekly growth sprints, resulting in an 11x month-on-month growth within a span of just the first six months and a 16% ($1.4 million) increase in pipeline opportunity.

We also achieved 75+ marquee coverage in Forbes and TechCrunch, Inc., 50+ Tech awards, Gartner, and Forrester recognitions, besides building a thriving partner and channel ecosystem spanning the entire technology stack. In 2017, DataRPM was acquired by public listed company, Progress Software, for $30 million.

2008

Dell EMC

This was where I first started out. Straight out of university, as green as they come, and immensely kicked about being a part of a tech giant. As a member of the CIO's team, I worked extensively on the Test IT, Run IT, and SHOW IT programs, showcasing them at EMC World – one of the world’s biggest tech events.

Dell EMC is where I literally witnessed the advent of the cloud and big data, and got the opportunity to be one of the early evangelists for these technologies. From building the GTM strategy to positioning our own cloud and big data transformation story to leading EMC’s Cloud and Big Data Transformation Journey, I was involved in every stage along the way. Aptly, this was when my obsession with data was born. Interesting projects I got to be involved in during my tenure here include:
