About

Most organizations in enterprise technology know how to build products. Fewer know how to take them to market in a way that actually creates value — for the customer, the channel, and the business.That gap is where I operate.Over 16 years across India and the Middle East & Africa, I've led the commercial lifecycle of enterprise IT portfolios — laptops, desktops, storage, networking, and solutions — from vendor strategy through to end-customer outcomes. I've owned P&Ls, exceeding revenues portfolios $40M+, built distribution and channel networks across MEA and consistently delivered double-digit revenue growth across multiple brands and business cycles.What I've learned is that the most important skill in technology (consumer and enterprise) distribution isn't sales technique or product knowledge — it's the ability to translate. -To translate vendor roadmaps into market opportunities. -To translate customer problems into portfolio decisions. -To translate business strategy into what a channel partner can actually execute on the ground.Currently at Redington MEA, I lead a multi-category IT portfolio spanning Consumer Products, VC Solutions, Switching, and Storage — working across retail, channel partners, and enterprise clients across the region.I recently completed the AI-Empowered SAFe® 6 Product Owner/Product Manager certification — not to pivot into product development, but to deepen my fluency in how product teams think about value, prioritization, and outcome-led strategy. In a market where vendor roadmaps and customer needs are rarely perfectly aligned, that fluency is a commercial advantage.I'm at a point in my career where I'm looking to step into a broader leadership mandate — /GM, Commercial Director — where I can bring together commercial strategy, product thinking, and market execution at scale.If you're building something ambitious in the enterprise technology space across MEA, I'd be glad to connect.
