Some things I’ve built
👩🏽💻 Most recently at Xactly, I led the charge in building Xactly Design, a design-first product spun from whitespace opportunity. From uncovering unmet user needs in a $1.3B TAM to driving discovery, delivery, and change adoption across global teams, I took the product from zero to launch.I also worked on Xactly Incent, our flagship product, where I reduced time-to-value by 66%, improved retention, and led major UX revamps that boosted NPS and adoption across our enterprise base.
I helped build and optimize digital commerce at Reliance Retail’s JioMart and Bajaj Finserv’s Bajaj Mall—owning 15+ product lines, shaping CX across payment and fulfilment journeys, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve conversion, reduce funnel drop-offs, and grow revenue.In each role, I’ve been the person who connects dots: between data and intuition, user needs and platform complexity, business goals and technical feasibility.
🔍 What I’m Looking For
I’m currently exploring opportunities where I can bring my skills in strategy, UX-driven discovery, and change management to impactful product teams—especially in health-tech, B2B SaaS, or mission-led platforms that are solving real-world problems.Ideal environments: Product teams navigating regulatory complexity or legacy transformation
Startups or scale-ups building design-first enterprise tools.
People-first orgs where outcomes trump output.
If you’re hiring, collaborating, or just want to jam on product problems—drop me a line.
💬 Outside work: I mentor, coach, and engage with product communities.
I actively mentor early-career PMs—especially those transitioning from design, ops, or tech backgrounds—through resume reviews, interview prep, and skill-building. I believe product is a team sport, and I’m always up to help others break in and thrive.
