About

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” - 𝘈𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘳, 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳 & 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 My 17+ year journey across Nutrition, Healthcare, and D2C entrepreneurship has been shaped by a single belief: execution creates advantage. I began my career in consulting with EY, moved into strategy, supply chain and innovation leadership at Abbott Nutrition, and later built a men’s health venture that supported 5,000+ customers, with each chapter strengthening my ability to solve complex problems. At Abbott, I delivered a $100M+ new product pipeline, enabled market leadership through regulatory wins and $6M+ in cost savings via profitability initiatives. I also helped cut innovation timelines by 50% through a fast-track India model and established a best-in-class, award winning S&OP process. As an entrepreneur, I experienced the intensity of building a brand from the ground up, designing a clinical assessment tool that reduced acquisition costs by ~20%, scaling acquisition 5x in a year, and driving gross margins through lean operations. This chapter sharpened my agility, customer understanding, and ownership mindset. Today, I’m passionate about re-entering the corporate world and helping organizations accelerate innovation, expand margins, and deliver meaningful impact across markets.
