I'm a versatile Project and Product Manager with 10+ years of experience leading high-impact initiatives across government agencies, fintech firms, and media-tech platforms. I specialize in delivering scalable solutions at the intersection of Product strategy, value realization, and operational governance—where systems are not just built — they’re made intuitive, strategic decisions are powered by data, and complex ideas are translated into actionable insights. Whether architecting enterprise workflows, designing user-centric financial products, or driving multi-channel engagement strategies, I specialize in turning technical depth into real-world impact.
At NYSLRS (Office of the NYS Comptroller), I led portfolio governance and end-to-end project execution for critical system upgrades, including the generation and distribution of 600,000+ 1099-Rs, post-PeopleSoft transition. I introduced strategic intake frameworks, prioritized 180+ tasks, and coordinated 67 cross-functional stakeholders to bring operational order to one of the most complex pension systems in the U.S.
At InvestingChannel, I wore multiple hats—Product strategist, UX designer, campaign architect—spearheading the launch of five finance newsletters and a loyalty platform that grew revenue by 53% and amassed over 585K subscribers. I created full-funnel acquisition systems, ran $20K/month ad campaigns, implemented tracking with Google Analytics and Tag Manager, and built custom performance dashboards.
Previously, at Quantum Phinance, (Axis Bank, Benow, and PayU), I led automation and risk-control initiatives, deploying over 100 automation tools, building fraud detection frameworks, and streamlining reconciliation workflows that reduced processing times from weeks to hours.
I hold a Master's in Quantitative Finance from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Mumbai. My passion lies in transforming complexity into clarity—whether it's via robust backend systems, optimized marketing channels, or cutting-edge financial analysis.
