Bio

I love to inspire and be inspired as I serve my customers, my team and my partners. Face-to-face exchanges of ideas, sparking innovation, and meeting new people to learn about their businesses energize me. I’m proud to bring a global vision to my work. I was born and educated in India, and I have lived and worked in cities from Bangalore to Boston and Dubai to DC. I believe the best collaborations come from bringing together people with diverse ideas, experiences, and backgrounds. Today’s executives need to create and manage disruption in their markets, which makes my most recent experience of leading the global cloud revenues at NetApp was an adrenaline rush of non-linear growth, from $100M to $600M over 10 quarters. By creating the industry’s first natively integrated first party service within the three largest public clouds and their individual marketplaces. With acquisitions such as Spot, Instaclustr and CloudCheckr, customers had the tools to optimize their cloud budgets and, ultimately, grow their businesses. My personal passions include cycling, tennis, and rowing, among other sports, because I admire the skill and determination of top athletes. Just like an athlete who doesn’t miss a workout, I take every opportunity to learn, grow, and move forward. After all, even a yellow jersey needs a Peloton! I also enjoy watching great films, from Bollywood to Hollywood. It’s Day 1 again for me, today as I take on the responsibility to be the CRO of a cloud company that’s disrupting the economics of cyber crime in favor of some of the largest media, retail & e-commerce so, we can finally have a verified human to human interaction across the web.
